We kick off Dawn's Big Three with a Philadelphia crime story that sounds almost too strange to believe: thieves making off with approximately 3,000 pounds of frozen snow crab from a cargo truck. Shawn, Greg, Dawn, and Matt Rooney discuss the mechanics of the theft, the possibility of an inside operation, and Philadelphia's reputation for elaborate cargo heists. We then return to the fatal Cheltenham Walmart shooting, examining investigators' allegations about the victim's previous marriage arrangement with the accused killer and hearing additional details about why immigration authorities reportedly reject the arrangement.
We continue with the arrest of a New Jersey-bound airline passenger accused of sending a threatening text about hijacking an aircraft. The crew debates whether the message is a reckless attempt at humor or evidence of a genuine threat, and we consider the responsibility of flight attendants and law enforcement when passenger safety is at risk. From there, we discuss Pennsylvania's new restrictions on student cellphone use, schools' increasing dependence on classroom technology, and complaints from parents who want more control over their children's use of district-issued devices. We also turn to newly recognized dog breeds and the strange politics of dog shows.
As the recording continues, we revisit North Penn School District's security issues before returning to the Cheesecake Factory debate and Barack Obama's criticism of President Trump's White House renovations. Dawn shares her views on Obama's enduring political appeal and his public image.
