If this isn't at the top of every airports “to do” list then they don't have their priorities straight.
Culture Buzz Turn the other cheek. This is John E. Brennan, and he converts airport screenings into acts of civil disobedience by putting the “body” back into “full body search.” Here he is yesterday at the Portland International Airport. Because of course this was in Portland.

Flying can be a nerve-racking experience. As if dealing with long lines and TSA agents with a penchant for inappropriate touching aren't bad enough, you also get to quietly wonder if yours is the plane that will malfunction in some horrific manner.
Culture Buzz The Chinese government HATES turtles. Are they soulless?
Celebrity Buzz BFM, spotted at JFK International Airport on Groundhog Day. Previously: Caught in a finger trap at a London Railway Station.

Terence Chang photographed planes taking off from an airport in San Francisco. By using long exposure times, he made the planes’ lights look like tendrils reaching across the sky.

Oh Big Brother, you so hilarious. But seriously, so bitching about getting molested pattted down is an indicator that you've got a bomb strapped to your chest? And not that, I don't know, you're irritated about some chick in rubber gloves getting to second base without even buying you dinner first?
Eye-popping video of an Air France Airbus A380, the largest passenger plane in the world, clipping a much smaller jet on the runway of JFK airport in New York. The smaller plane spins right round baby right round. No one, fortunately, was hurt. Otherwise the flippant '80s pop reference would not have been used.
Culture Buzz Say hello to the man known as Terminal, a living American folk hero who enjoys wearing corsets and cutoff shorts through airport security. The Dirty has been following him for months now, but he recently turned up after a brief hiatus at the Salt Lake City International Airport. If the TSA asked him to stop wearing tank tops and high heels, then the terrorists win.
Apparently his luggage was switched with a 90lb stripper's. The things you see at airports!
Kanye West posted this photo on Twitter with the statement, “Set off the metal detectors with the Swag.” The TSA was calling in dump trucks and still stripping him of swag as of presstime. Just kidding. We don't have a presstime. We're the internet!
An explosion ripped through Moscow's busiest airport this morning, killing at least 35 and injuring more than a hundred. This is amateur video of the moments immediately following the blast. There's been no immediate claim of responsibility, but a suicide bomber is suspected. WARNING: The footage is disturbing, dead bodies are visible.
Culture Buzz Sounds like a joke about the ludicrous kabuki theater of the TSA, but it actually happened and there's creepy video. Parents, try to avoid the Chattanooga airport if you don't want your kid screaming, “Quit touching me!”
There are worse ways to spend a 10 hour delay than recording your overnight antics in a (mostly) desolate Pittsburgh airport. She'll probably be added to some security lists, but at least she did something creative with her down time.
Sure, it's ridiculous looking luggage. But, we'll see who looks ridiculous when your flight is delayed and you're sleeping on the airport floor.
Pharrell Williams musters all his charm and musical knowhow to get a McDonald's to open early during his layover at an airport. But the airport is in Paris, and the French don't find that kind of shit funny. You should know that, Pharrell.
