| A Connecticut woman’s Disney Dream cruise dissolved into a nightmare when she was thrown in jail on a shoplifting warrant — from 22 years ago. Robin Hall, 41, was nabbed Thursday when the Disney cruise ship docked in Port Canaveral, Fla., at the tail end of her vacation with her husband and two children, reported NBC affiliate WESH in Orlando. There, authorities were waiting for Hall. Her youthful indiscretion caught up with her when the ship conducted a check of all passengers looking for names on a terrorism watch list. “I was pulled to the side and told I had

I agree people should pay their court costs, but how about a little discretion? Generally, one jurisdiction calls another and asks if they want the warrant served. Seems like a bit much for $85.

Is this a great country or what? We can get a lady for a minor crime some 20 years ago, but we can´t get any information about the past life of our president!

Leave it to the government to equate a 22 years ago shoplift with terrorism.
No WONDER the TSA hasn´t caught a terrorist yet.

Of course she deserves it. She´s already ran the meter in court costs for that sum 20 years ago, plus interest.

Meanwhile, Eric Holder and his cronies at the ATF are free after facilitating the murder of several Americans (including two federal agents) and countless hundreds of Mexicans.
Meanwhile, Jon Corzine walks free.
Meanwhile, we KNOW, per a professional investigation by law enforcement personnel, that Obama´s birth certificate as presented is and his draft registration card are fakes.
It´s not what you do. It´s who you are. The rule of law is dead - welcome to America!

Exactly! We can get full information about overlooked court costs decades later. But a re-elected President´s past life remains a closed book to the country. Even questioning it is fiercely persecuted like blasphemy in the Dark Ages.

What concerns me is the idea that every person in the nation is now liable for a "Big Brother" type intrusion into our lives. What´s the Federal gummint doing highlighting this gal for a 22 year old possible misdemeanor local crime? Yet they allow felony intrusions across the Federal border like water through a colander!

Shouldn´t there be a statute of limitations on this?

The arrest isn´t even for shoplifting. It was for failure to pay $85 in court costs. Don´t they have a collection agency that can do that? Or better yet, they should just write it off.

Doesn´t surprise me. Some years ago a friend was flying from Mexico to Chicago to see his aging parents. He was actually jailed for failing to take care of a car registration violation (a fixit ticket) in California 15 yrs earlier. California would never have paid to extradite him but they can nail you and make your life miserable for a short time.

If her job with Pratt & Whitney requires a security clearance, that´s probably gone.

Obama is using someone else´s SSN, which is an identity theft felony. Can we get a warrant for him?

In the age of Obama it is OK to vote without having to show any ID no questions asked. But if you take a short vacation cruise you become subject to all sorts of background checks and having to show multiple types of ID.

All eyes have been on the clear and present danger of the fiscal cliff—understandably—but there´s a sound in the mountain range that´s even scarier than the cliff. It´s the sound made by an avalanche, the trillions of dollars of debt that´s heading our way, gathering speed and mass. For most people, it´s out of earshot now, and that´s the way our government prefers to play it in its financial statements. Liabilities are not set out there in accordance with the well-established norms of the private sector, where this overhang of liabilities would set off alarm bells in the markets, with

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
