The headline says it all, and it really can’t get much better than this, folks. AP reports on the “little” incident:

Merengue star Elvis Crespo is being investigated after a woman said she saw him masturbating on an airplane en route from Houston to Miami.

According to a Miami-Dade County police report, the Grammy winner was doing it in view of other passengers on a flight last week. That prompted the plane’s captain to radio Miami International Airport.

Officers interviewed the Puerto Rican singer upon his arrival but did not arrest him. No charges have been filed, but an investigation continues.

When asked by police about the incident, Crespo said: “I don’t recall doing that.”

His publicist did not immediately return a message left Wednesday by The Associated Press.

You can’t blame Elvis. Pobrecito can’t get press to save his life, so he had no other choice than to resort to touching himself on a plane. And getting interrogated by the FBI? Priceless.

FBI Considering Rules That Would Open the Door to Ethnic and Racial Profiling

fbi_seal.jpgPacifica’s Democracy Now! reports that the AP is reporting (how’s that for third hand info) that the Justice Department is considering letting the FBI investigate Americans without any evidence of wrongdoing, relying instead on racial or ethnic profiling. Currently, FBI agents need specific reasons, such as evidence or allegations that a law probably has been violated, to investigate US citizens and legal residents.

Hmmm sounds like what they are doing already, now they would just be able to do it legally.
