Former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell will remain free while his corruption case is on appeal, a court ruled Monday.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit found that McDonnell is not a flight risk. The issues he has raised on appeal, the court said, raise a “substantial question of law or fact” that could lead to a reversal of the case if decided in his favor.Read full article &gt;&gt; [Read full article »] <http://link.washingtonpost.com/544d41923b35d04a5290184027r4i.311h/VMaZ3sPoTG9geiu9A3a6b>

The FAA said an aircraft was evacuated at Boston’s Logan Airport last August after a bag in a plane’s cargo hold caught fire. More recently, a bag that had missed its flight at Los Angeles International Airport caught fire in a luggage area three weeks ago.
