The TSA began a new screening policy for paper products at airport checkpoints in Missouri last month, and now the agency's branch in Sacramento, California, is testing out more invasive searches for books and food items.

In the new system, passengers are required to take all reading material and food out of their carry-on luggage and place it in a separate bin. TSA screeners can "fan" through travelers' books to see if anything is hidden in the pages, but agency officials insist they will not pay attention to the content. Critics have long argued passengers selected for extra screening are not chosen as randomly as the TSA claims, and book content — particularly of a political or religious nature — could re-ignite that debate.

"It's always been a series of insults," said Julie Sze, a University of California, Davis, professor who experienced the test procedure at Sacramento. "Books, magazines, food, those are like my three treasured things. It feels personal on a whole different level."

Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said Sunday he will likely expand the new searches nationwide and may also ban laptop carry-ons for all international flights in and out of the United States. Bonnie Kristian

Spider-Man: Homecoming is on track to have a blockbuster opening weekend, with experts projecting the film will rake in at least $100 million in the U.S. and as much as $200 million worldwide. The latest installment in the Marvel series previewed Thursday night to strong reviews, with 48 percent calling it "excellent" and 38 percent rating it "very good," Variety reported.

The Spider-Man flick, which stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker, also marks the weekend's sole major release, giving it a strong lead over likely second-place contender Despicable Me 3, which is projected to bring in $39 million in its second weekend.

Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst at comScore, predicted that Spider-Man's opening would be "one of the biggest debuts of the summer." Becca Stanek

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Friday slammed President Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson for failing to adequately address Russia's election meddling in their meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Though Trump did raise the topic during his Friday meeting with Putin, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed Trump took Putin's word that Russia did not interfere in the U.S. presidential election. The U.S. intelligence community has reached the conclusion that Russia did interfere.

Schumer contended that Trump not only had an "obligation" to bring up the issue — he had "an equal obligation to take the word of our intelligence community rather than that of the Russian president." "To give equal credence to the findings of the American intelligence community and the assertion by Mr. Putin is a grave dereliction of duty and will only encourage Russia to further interfere in our elections in the future," Schumer said in a statement.

Schumer also made clear that he does not think the decision to "'agree to disagree' is an acceptable conclusion." "For Secretary Tillerson to say this issue will remain unresolved is disgraceful," Schumer said. Becca Stanek

President Trump's dark speech in Warsaw on Thursday founds lots of fans — including, apparently, Sarah Palin. The former governor of Alaska shared a Young Conservatives article about the speech, tweeting: "Trump gives speech to the people of Poland, says 14 words that leave Americans stunned."

Palin's tweet reads like a dog-whistle for white supremacists, as it seemingly refers to the "Fourteen Words" of the neo-Nazi slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The article Palin quotes notably does not contain any 14-word sentences by Trump that might otherwise be being referenced.

Some sleuthing by The Daily Beast, though, shows that the caption could be an honest mistake:

While the headline and the article's URL make no mention of the neo-Nazi phrase, the manually selected Facebook caption — which automatically comes up when a user clicks the "Share" button on YoungCon's website — contains the "14 words" reference.

And those familiar with Sarah Palin's social-media habits know that her Facebook musings automatically post to her Twitter, hence the neo-Nazi caption being shared on multiple platforms.

Former Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight, 76, was investigated by the FBI over complaints that he inappropriately touched female employees at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), an intelligence arm of the Defense Department, when he was invited to give a speech at the headquarters in July 2015, The Washington Post reports. Four women claimed or were witnessed being touched by Knight, including one woman who allegedly had Knight put "his hands on the sides of her chest and [lift] her off the ground" and another who claims Knight "put his arm around her shoulders and groped her on the buttocks," the Post writes.

Knight was a controversial choice of a speaker from the start; he has formerly been accused of choking an Indiana player and punching a policeman in Puerto Rico, and he claimed in 1988 that "if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it." Knight is longtime friends with the father of NGA director Robert Cardillo, who invited Knight to speak at the agency's distinguished speaker series. After the allegations emerged, Cardillo said he was "shocked" and "stunned" and he made a point to contact the women who had made the accusations and offer his support.

One woman took Cardillo up on his offer to meet but said in a statement later that over the course of their conversation, "I felt that [Cardillo] was giving me an order to drop this issue and go back to work like a good little girl. I felt at that moment he had chosen his friendship with Bobby Knight over my psychological welfare, and called me to his office to let me know that."

The case was eventually transferred from the Army's Criminal Investigation Command to the FBI, which interviewed Knight at his home in Montana in July 2016. Present for the interviews was Richard Cardillo, Knight's friend and Robert Cardillo's father, who said the allegations were "unfounded" and "completely false." The FBI closed the case shortly afterwards, having "decided the evidence against [Knight] was not likely to result in a successful prosecution," The Washington Post reports. Read the full story here.

Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia, deemed the White House "weak" after President Trump on Friday apparently took Russian President Vladimir Putin's word that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election — a contradiction of U.S. intelligence agencies' overwhelming consensus to the contrary. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reported the conversation after Trump and Putin's first-ever meeting during the G-20 summit in Germany, though a senior Trump administration official has since denied Trump accepted Putin's assurances.

McFaul argued that while there can be "disagreements with Russia about policies," there cannot be "disagreements about basic facts," like that Russia meddled in the U.S. election:

McFaul also scoffed at Putin and Trump's apparent focus on how to "move forward," as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson put it, given it was the leaders' first-ever face-to-face meeting. After Putin annexed Crimea, "propped up" Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and meddled in the U.S. elections, "of course, he wants to 'move on,'" McFaul wrote. Becca Stanek

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed that President Trump raised the question of Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election with Russian President Vladimir Putin during their two-hour conversation on Friday at the G-20 summit. Moscow and the White House will set up a joint working group on cybersecurity as a result of that conversation, NPR's Lucian Kim reports. Kim added that Lavrov said "Trump … heard Putin's statements that Russia didn't hack [the] election and accepts them," although U.S. officials are already disputing that characterization.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who was present at the meeting along with Lavrov, also had a different interpretation of the conversation. "They had a very robust and lengthy exchange on the subject [of the election hacking]," Tillerson said. "The president pressed President Putin, on more than one occasion, regarding Russian involvement. President Putin denied such involvement, as I think he has in the past. The two leaders agreed that this is a substantial hindrance ... "

Tillerson added: "How do we move forward from here? Because it's not clear to me that we will ever come to some agreed-upon resolution of that question between the two nations. So the question is what do we do now? And I think the relationship, and the president made this clear as well, is too important. And it's too important to not find a way to move forward."

BBC News' Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, added that "according to Lavrov, Trump told Putin some circles in America were 'exaggerating' allegations of Russian interference in the U.S. election." Jeva Lange

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly shared a laugh about the free press before their meeting Friday at the G-20 summit in Germany. The Guardian's Alex Luhn reported that as journalists were "being ushered out of the room" ahead of Trump and Putin's sit-down, Putin leaned over to Trump and asked: "These are the ones that insulted you?" Putin then gestured towards the press.

Trump nodded, and the two world leaders sat back chuckling.
