Yep. They got us.

Screeners usually catch prank callers, but every now and then one slips through. My guess was this moron lucked out and got an intern screening - since most people were tasked to Hurricane Isabel. I thought Kyra handled it extremely well, though - and caught on pretty damn fast, faster than the booth.

It's the nature of breaking news and the industry these days. Everyone's in such a rush to be first - and this yokel claimed to be a deputy sherriff with new info - that they sometimes let things like this slip through the safeguards.

Still. it's embarrassing.
