The notion that this level of security is new or unprecedented is simply inaccurate. The Marine Corps Marathon in D.C. and the LA Marathon both had very visible security that included helicopters and highly sophisticated bomb detection equipment. I'm hired as an official photographer for nearly all of the largest marathons and I get to see first-hand exactly what goes on behind the scenes. Suffice to say, this is NOT out of the ordinary.

No kidding - too bad taxpayers will have to foot the bill for the mistakes.

Hands on shoulders & shaking back and fourth - I'd venture to say that's probably over the line in terms of work-related boundaries. At the same time, when you read "touched inappropriately", it has a different connotation to it.

My favorite quote... "You're selling a house," John Bates said. "Would you write, yes, this house was a meth lab? I wouldn't. And I'm pretty honest."

For a guy who was worried about losing his security clearance, I found this to be a rather shocking admission.

So the woman lets a stranger use her phone and he steals it. Nice. I guess the old saying "no good deed goes unpunished" proved true - at least in this case.

It's great that people were willing to get involved and help recover the phone!

What the frick!?!? Whatever happened to the vows like "to love and cherish in sickness and in health..."

This guy is one sick puppy. I hope her next trip out of the house is to see a divorce lawyer.

Gee.... about time.

Unfortunately, these manufactures will replace BPA with other chemicals that may be equally as bad.

Let's hope everyone makes it out of this one alive and fully recovers.

When this blaze was first reported, I thought it might be my storage unit going up in flames. I was quite relieved to find out it was the next building over.

I feel horrible for all those who had units and lost items that were irreplaceable.

The fact that we're talking about something that can be used for illegal drugs should tell you exactly what is probably wrong with them...
