When Life Hands You Lemons...

Make Lemonade!

The Houston Chronicle reports today on one poor college student that did just that during yesterday's terror alert.

At the entrance to Hobby's screening area, where passengers had dumped items including aftershave, shampoo and eye drops into large trash bins, Michael Wilkinson grabbed a half-empty tube of toothpaste and a used bottle of lotion out of the bin.

"It's free," said Wilkinson, a 19-year-old Blinn College student from Bay City who had dropped a friend off for a flight. "All these people are throwing (stuff) away. I might as well."
