Flight risk: Kim Taylor makes love of travel her business

But there's another side to Kim Taylor; a thrill-seeking side that has enticed her to bungee-jump at Victoria Falls and ski down a glacier in Austria.
Taylor's deep love of travel gives her the chance to indulge and explore the contrasting sides of her nature, and as the owner of Admiral Travel Gallery on Main Street in Lakewood Ranch, her passion for travel helps her make a living.
"I love being able to plan experiences for people and know that they are going to have a great time," Taylor said.
Business As Usual At Sears Tower Despite Terror Threat
Jun. 23--WASHINGTON -- FBI agents in an undercover sting operation arrested seven terrorism suspects in Miami on Thursday who allegedly were plotting to attack the Sears Tower in Chicago, the FBI headquarters in Miami and other U.S. buildings, officials said.The suspects had "aspirations" but "no means" to attack the Sears Tower or other buildings, a senior federal law-enforcement source said.
The men were all Muslims who thought they were plotting "in conjunction with Al Qaeda" but they really were dealing with law-enforcement undercover agents, one law-enforcement official told The Miami Herald.
The men, who told neighbors in the Liberty City area of Miami that they were starting a children's karate class at a warehouse, had been plotting for an undetermined amount of time, but their scheme was thwarted well before any attack could be carried out.
