BWI Officers Uncover 13 Knives Concealed in a Passenger's Carry-on
July 11, 2011Every day, TSA officers around the country stop knives, as well as guns and other weapons from being taken aboard airplanes. However, it's not every day that a passenger tries to walk through a checkpoint with over a dozen knives in their carry-on — but that's exactly what TSA officers at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) uncovered recently.A TSA officer running an X-ray machine detected something suspicious in a carry-on bag and a fellow officer responded with a bag search that uncovered 13 different knives concealed in the carry-on. The passenger was arrested by local police, and there was no impact to flight operations

Traffic Safety and International Bridges
No Delays beig reported at the international bridges.Traffic that may have been involved in Tonawanda, Ny fireworks slowly filtering out of the area, use great caution as many are walking through the neighborhoods and not everyone is wearing light colored clothing. Children are present as are women pushing baby strollers. It would be wise not to assume clearance for one person is all that is necessary.
First Lady Michelle Obama on Our Troops and JoiningForces.gov
(Editor's Note: An Offical Email from The First Lady )
Good morning,
This Independence Day, I hope you’ll join me and my family in recognizing both our brave men and women in uniform and their families for everything they do to protect our country and our way of life.
We know that when our troops are called to serve, their families serve right along with them. For military kids, that means stepping up to help with the housework and putting on a brave face through all those missed holidays, bedtimes and ballet recitals. For military spouses, it means pulling double-duty, doing the work of both parents, often while juggling a full-time job or trying to get an education.
That’s why, a few months ago, Dr. Jill Biden and I started Joining Forces, a nationwide campaign to recognize, honor, and serve our military families. Our troops give so much to this country and they ask us for just one thing in return: to take care of their families while they’re gone. So we’ve put out a call to action. We’re urging all Americans to ask themselves one question: What can I do to give back to these families that have given so much?
To answer that question you can go to JoiningForces.gov and learn more about how you can get involved. And you can get started right now through Operation Honor Card by pledging to spend a certain number of hours serving military families in your community.
Our motto for Joining Forces is very simple: Everyone can do something. We've met folks in every corner of the country who are stepping up and helping out in their own small ways in their neighborhoods and in their communities. They’re popping over to rake the leaves, or bringing a family a home-cooked meal, or offering to babysit. And I know that if we each do whatever we can, if we all join forces, we can show military families across this country that we have them in our hearts, we have them in our prayers, and we always have their backs.
Happy Independence Day!
Sincerely,
First Lady Michelle Obama
