Ventura had posted an item on Tuesday which took note of a recent conference at which "more than one thousand architects and engin... (more)

The passenger was passing through security at Manchester Airport when she was selected at random for a full-body scanner.
She was warned that she would be stopped from boarding the plane but she decided to forfeit her ticket to Pakistan rather than submit to the scan. Her female travelling companion also declined to step into the scanner, citing &ldq... (more)
No way in hell this is the first person to refuse the body scanner. This is a total psy-op.
When Ron Paul says he's for limited government and fiscal responsibility, he practices what he preaches:
