Well, we have a new idiot of the day, the lawyer for Michael Lasseter. Lasseter made news when he ran through a security checkpoint to get a camera bag, resulting in the shutdown of Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport for several hours. Thousands of airline passengers had to leave the terminal and be rescreened because of Lasseter's stupidity. Unfortunately the maximum fine is only $3,300.

So what does his lawyer have to say?

Lasseter's lawyer, Robert Lipman, said he was unaware of the fine, but questioned the FAA's right to impose the penalty.

"At this point I'm in between astonished and amused," Lipman said.

Well, at this point I'm in between astonished and amused that Lipman is astonished and amused.
