TSA wrote, Ay, caramba! Don t get all bart out of shape about forgetting your krusty ol sling shot in your carry-on. It s just not worth having a cow over, man. If you hate to part with it consider putting it in your checked bag instead. This sling shot was discovered by our officers from Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU). Sling shots, or any other weapons or replicas are not allowed in your carry-on bag. So do yourself a favor and double… triple check your bags before arriving to the airport.
NEW YORK (REUTERS) - A winter storm piled record-breaking amounts of snow onto parts of the US Northeast on Thursday (Dec 17) and wreaked havoc throughout the region, killing at least four people in traffic crashes and hobbling travel.
The first major snowstorm of the season, which was expected to move out to sea by Thursday evening, prompted officials to urge the region s 50 million residents to stay home. Given the heavy (snow) and difficult travel conditions, drivers are encouraged to stay off the road if they can during the storm, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said on Twitter.
Two people were killed in a storm-related pileup of 30 to 60 cars on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania on Wednesday. New York State Troopers reported 600 crashes and two fatalities on Thursday.
