thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $780,000 by a jury of 
peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running 
inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably

Ms. Robertson's son.

the aircraft comes to a full and complete stop at the gate will be
strip-searched as they leave the aircraft."
