A 74-year-old grandmother spent the night in jail after she refused security officers’ efforts to check her at Palm Beach International Airport and then shoved a deputy, authorities said Thursday.

Elena Reichman, a Holocaust survivor who lives west of Boca Raton, is charged with felony battery on a law enforcement officer. She was released from jail after posting a $3,000 bond at 5 a.m. Thursday. It was her first arrest, state records show.

Reichman was in the airport to catch a flight to New York for Passover when she set off the metal detector at about 1 p.m. Wednesday, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Paul Miller said.

Transportation Security Administration workers told her they would have to do a secondary screening, which includes using a metal detector wand, TSA spokeswoman Sari Koshetz said.

“She refused to remove the items from her pockets,” Koshetz said.

Officials took her to a private area away from other passengers and called Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Deputy Margaret Picerno.

“She started screaming and being abusive,” Miller said. Reichman told security officers the detector was set off by a pin with money she wore inside her clothing, officials said.

“She didn’t want to take anything out of her pockets,” Koshetz said. “When we asked her again to remove anything she became belligerent.”

When Picerno, a 17-year veteran with the Sheriff’s Office, tried to calm Reichman down, it got worse, Miller said: “She started screaming and grabbed the arms of the deputy and shoved her.”

Reichman was arrested.

“The public needs to realize that anyone can pose a threat,” Koshetz said.

Mainly “sad” and “ironic” come to mind. Given the trauma this woman likely has because of her experiences during WWII I very much doubt being surrounded by a gang of TSA agents barking orders at her would go over well.

A volunteer Sunday school teacher is facing child pornography charges, after investigators say he took photographs of young girls and pasted their faces to sexually explicit pictures of adult women.

An investigation was started in March by the Dade City Police Department after someone found 90 photographs of of young girls with the faces cut out in a dumpster off Highway 35-A.

Police found the name and address of 38 year old Danny Lynn Parker of Kathleen inside the trash.

During a search of Parker’s home, detectives found a homemade photo album that Parker created where had had pasted the young girls faces onto sexually explicit photographs of women’s bodies from various magazines, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

His victims range in age from 5 to 15 years old, detectives say.

Detectives say Parker took the girls’ photos himself at the Lakeland Acres Baptist Church, where he volunteers as a Sunday school teacher, and the Lake Wales Care Center, where he volunteers at a youth camp as a photographer.

Parker admitted to purchasing adult pornographic magazines from Hillsborough and Pasco counties, detectives say, and altering the images to reflect child porn.

Parker is charges of 90 counts Sexual Performance by Child and 1 count Possession of Images of Child Pornography. Saturday a judge set his bond at $91,000. As of 4pm Saturday he remained at the Polk County Jail.

This guy may be a weirdo and probably shouldn’t be teaching Sunday school but what he did was no crime. There are no victims. The girls were not in anyway harmed. There is little difference from him creating these images and those he creates in his mind. It’s a thought crime. This guy has been outed and should be ostracized. By supporting this you’ll have to support locking up people who support particular religions which advocate violent behavior or those who speak of things which would be crimes. No more violent artwork. Lets trash all the Bibles and arrest the readers and publishers.

I like some of the images over at Fark:
