Singles--move to the East, move to the West!

The U.S. Census has created a list that reveals the best cities in the U.S. for singles of either sex. We've divided it by best cities to male and single and best cities to be female and single…just remember…the best city for one sex, makes it the worst city for the other sex

Best for Men

New York Metro: Single Women outnumber men by 210,000. No wonder the New York Yankees players have so much luck with the ladies.

Washington D.C. and Philadelphia: Over 50,00 more single men than women. With all those fancy dates Obama keeps throwing Michelle…no guy can possible measure up.

Best for Women

Los Angeles: Nearly 90,000 more unmarried men than women…that would explain the scene last weekend at Teddy’s…dudes a plenty. No wonder Paris loves Los Angeles.

San Francisco: 65,000 more single men that women. It’s possible there’s a little more going on than the census reveals in that state.

Gun smuggled on board U.S. Airways flight

Two men have been arrested after smuggling a gun on board a U.S. Airways flight at Philadelphia International Airport on Thursday morning, FBI officials told BNO News.

Authorities ordered a passenger plane to return to the gate after a passenger reported a concern about a carry-on bag to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a U.S. Airways spokesperson said. Officers then boarded the plane and discovered a handgun in the bag, resulting in the arrest of two people.

One of the people arrested was a U.S. Airways employee, who reportedly helped the passenger smuggle the gun on board, Special Agent J. Klaver said. "The investigation is ongoing but the threat posed by this isolated incident has been contained," he said.

The flight involved was U.S. Airways flight 1195 which was scheduled to depart to Phoenix, Arizona this morning.

"Safety and security is our first and foremost priority in everything we do," a U.S. Airways spokesperson told BNO News in a written statement. "We are cooperating with investigators fully and take security considerations very seriously," it added.

The spokesperson refused to provide further comment, saying it was not appropriate at this time as the investigation is still ongoing.

According to Phoenix-based KPHO-TV, it was a 9mm handgun and reports say bullets were found in the bag. Special Agent Klaver said it is unclear what their intend was but did say it does not appear to be terrorism-related.

"We are still trying to sort through all the pieces," he said.
