TSA Horror Stories

From My Fox C.O.
A Transportation Security Administration worker who brought a gun through an X-ray machine at Denver International Airport is back on the job.

A FOX 31 investigation reveals that Alvin Crabtree got to keep his job as a screener at DIA, despite the incident.

Airport and Denver Police documents show the incident happened on the morning of November 23, 2007.

Another screener saw an “unloaded firearm” in Crabtree’s bag as he reported for his shift at the “A-Bridge” checkpoint.

Airport documents show that the security office suspended Crabtree’s badge for 30 days as a result of the incident, but a TSA spokeswoman cited privacy rules when asked if Crabtree received any formal punishment.

Simpsons Return to Venezuelan TV

(04-17) 09:17 PDT CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) --

"The Simpsons" animated series has returned to Venezuelan television — shifting to a nighttime slot after regulators ordered it off the air in the morning.

Elba Guillen, a spokeswoman for station Televen, said Thursday the Fox series returned to the air Wednesday at 7 p.m. and will now be shown at that time each week.

The channel yanked "The Simpsons" off the air earlier this month after the National Telecommunications Commission said showing it each day at 11 a.m. — a time slot approved for all viewers — violated regulations to protect children.

The agency said this week that Televen might be fined, taken off the air for three days or be forced to show programs chosen by the agency as punishment for keeping "The Simpsons" in the morning after earlier warnings.

"The Simpsons" was removed from its family friendly morning time slot in favor of "Baywatch Hawaii," featuring scantily clad lifeguards.

Pizza Beer

Something's brewing in a garage in St. Charles. Tom Seefurth is mixing up a concoction he'll eventually pour out as beer – pizza beer. "It's pizza and beer in a bottle," Seefurth, a self-proclaimed beer nut, says. There are actually real pieces of pizza stirred into the mix. The kettles and tubes of Seefurth's tiniest of breweries all come together beside the hundreds of beer cans in his collection. "This is a reflection of my entire life history," he says. Too many garden tomatoes cooked up the idea for pizza beer last year. Seeforth and his wife create a tomato garlic puree and bake up the pizza -- in the back yard they pick their own oregano for flavoring. And back in the brewery Seefurth even grinds his own wheat to get the process started. He'll add other spices, but keeps the recipe a secret. "The only people who know the recipe are me and my cat, Jethro," he says.

"Why did we or someone else think of this sooner. Pizza Beer, it's like two birds with one stone! I think we may have to track down that Jethro and beat the recipe out of him, or maybe bribe him with a can of tuna."
