FOXNews.com - Slovakia Pays Innocent Flier Planted With Explosives in Failed Security Test: "A policeman slipped 3.4 ounces of plastic explosive into the check-in luggage of an unsuspecting passenger at Poprad-Tatry Airport in a sniffing dog test in January.
But instead of being detected, the small package ended up on a flight to Dublin.
Passenger Stefan Gonda, who had not known of the explosives, was detained by Irish police for several hours."

Obama's Jobs Errors | Daniel J. Mitchell | Cato Institute: Commentary
Obama's Jobs Errors | Daniel J. Mitchell | Cato Institute: Commentary: "The White House last year released a supposedly scientific analysis that claimed to show that adopting the 'stimulus' bill would cut unemployment. Indeed, the report specifically estimated that the unemployment rate today would be down to 7.5 percent.
Something obviously went wrong. The actual unemployment rate is 9.5 percent, a statistic that doesn't include the millions who've given up looking for work or can only find part-time jobs. What were President Obama's biggest mistakes?"
"businesses are not charities. They only create jobs when they think that the total revenue generated by new workers will exceed the total cost of employing those workers."
"If a worker is only worth $6.50 per hour, then a required wage of $7.15 is a one-way ticket to the unemployment line."
"Obama supported these and other Bush economic policies, so the 'mess he inherited' is also a mess he helped to make."

FOXNews.com - Legacy of 1969 underground nuclear blast in Colorado lingers amid modern oil and gas rush: "In 1969, the government detonated a subterranean nuclear bomb to break loose natural gas deposits from tight sandstone formations more than 8,000 feet below ground on a Colorado mountain. The bomb was twice as powerful as the one that destroyed Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945.
The scheme worked — to an extent. The gas was unlocked by the blast but was deemed too radioactive for commercial use."
