16-year-old girl from Michigan hopped a plane to meet a man in the West Bank she met on (where else) MySpace. Fortunately, she was caught at a stopover in Jordan and sent home. Her father had this reaction...

[Shawn Lester told The Saginaw News that her daughter has "never given me a day's trouble. ... I just don't understand with all these new laws protecting America how a 16-year-old kid could get out of the country." She said her daughter never had a boyfriend and seemed to be content with that.]

Sir, you gave your daughter a passport and enough money to fly to the West Bank. These "new laws" protect against foreign terror, not domestic ignorance.
