*112 number for your cell…

My Daddy sent this email to me and I wanted to pass the message along.
Spread the word! Stay Safe!
“ Some knew about the red light on cars,

> It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to
visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her

to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road,
> but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.

> Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly
called *112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not
pull over right away. She proceeded to

flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if
there were police cars where she was and

that he had back up already on the way.
>
> Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car
behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car
behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The
man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.

I’m getting nervous! I’m not traveling this weekend, but will at some point this holiday season. I am hoping that all the fuss over the body scans and invasive pat downs brings some kind of change to the system before it’s my turn to go through security. I still don’t know which I’d choose.
You know, what we need at a time like this is a little laughter to put us at ease before someone we don’t know puts their hand down our pants. So, I give you David Letterman’s Top 10 ways to make airport security more pleasant. And another huge collection of jokes about the TSA here. Here’s hoping your holidays are a touching experience…but not in the TSA touching kind of way.
David Letterman’s “Top Ten Ways To Make Airport Security More Pleasant”
10. For $10, screeners will give you luxurious shiatsu massage
9. To your left, x-ray conveyor belt; to your right, complimentary hot buffet
8. Passenger’s naked body scan ends up on YouTube — hey, that joke was in the monologue
7. Anyone caught with something suspicious has to eat it
6. You can watch other passengers get groped for 99 cents a minute
5. Guess the TSA agent’s weight and you can bring any liquid on board
4. Passengers have option to be frisked by security or airport Cinnabon employee
3. Pipe in soft rock classics from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and today
2. Concludes with a good luck pat on the butt
1. Vibrating wands
