Woman briefly banned from facebook over picture of Daughter on Beach!

From all indications, a North Carolina mother's attempt to re-create the image from the famous 1950s Coppertone ads did not go over well on Facebook, as she was allegedly banned for 24 hours and faced the prospect of a lifetime ban after users reported photograph of her daughter and a friend as being pornographic.


Information has it that the woman, known as Jill White, a professional photographer, snapped the photo of her two-year-old daughter pulling down the bathing suit bottom of her friend. When she posted it, Facebook removed it after receiving complaints and she said she could not log in to her accounts for 24 hours. After getting back in, she reposted the photo with an emoji over the child's buttocks, and Facebook later stated publicly that White will not be banned permanently for the picture.

So readers, what do you think of the picture? Did it cross a line?

U.S bound passengers may no longer be allowed on-board with cell phones and laptops unless they are charged up!

The United States Transportation Security Administration Agency said they will no longer allow cellphones or other electronic devices on U.S.-bound planes at some overseas airports if the devices are not charged up, the agency said on Sunday.

According to the agency, the new measure is part of the TSA's effort to boost security against the backdrop that Yemen-based al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and the Islamist Nusra Front, al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, are plotting to blow up an airliner. 

The TSA said it is then as part of the increased scrutiny at certain airports, that security agents may ask travelers to turn on their electronic devices at checkpoints and if they do not have power, the devices will not be allowed on planes.

A U.S. source familiar with the matter said laptop computers are among the devices security screeners may require passengers to turn on.

Information revealed that officials are concerned that a cellphone, tablet, laptop or other electronic device could be used as a bomb.

Smartphones including iPhones made by Apple and Galaxy phones made by Samsung Electronics has been singled out by U.S. officials for extra security checks on U.S.-bound direct flights from Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

It was gathered that he agency also called for closer checks on travelers' shoes.
