KETV Photographer Killed In Collision

TheOmahaChannel.com: "Photographer Jeff Frolio, 45, died while on assignment Thursday afternoon. He was struck by a vehicle near 222nd Street and West Center Road. The investigation of the collision is not yet complete, but it appears Frolio was struck by a car while he was crossing the road on foot. He was shooting footage of a memorial left for two Elkhorn teens who were killed at the intersection last month.

Frolio's camera marked the spot where the accident happened, just after 5 p.m. Police believe he was focused on a memorial left to the Elkhorn teens when he was hit.

'He was running across the street with his camera, I believe, to get more footage of the memorial,' said Lt. Steve Glandt, with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office."

Forum: The fish that threatened national security : "At La Guardia we proceeded to security and the X-ray inspection point run by the Transportation Security Administration. I have learned by now that, post-9/11, a traveler is better off safe than sorry when proceeding through security. I wasn't prepared, however, for the TSA to stop me right at the entrance, proclaiming that no small pets, including fish, were permitted through security. I had, however, just received the blessing of the ticket agents at US Airways and pre-assured MJ's travels with Pittsburgh International Airport security weeks before our travel date. I tried to explain this to the screener who stood between me and the gates, but she would have none of it. I was led back to the US Airways ticket counter, stocking-footed and alone, where the agents reasserted that they did not see a problem for me to have a fish on board, properly packaged in plastic fish bag and secured with a rubber band as MJ was....
