Two baggage handlers went viral after battling a stubborn baby stroller for several long minutes.

The scene unfolded at Kansas City International Airport as travelers watched the struggle from a jet bridge above the tarmac.

Jason Falen, who was waiting to board a flight to Denver, started recording when he realized the two workers were completely baffled by the baby gear.

“I only caught the very end,” Falen told Storyful. 

“They had been trying to figure it out for five minutes, and it was comedy gold!”

While the video provided a lighthearted moment, travel expert and former flight attendant Bobby Laurie told Fox News Digital that stroller etiquette at the airport really comes down to “courtesy and preparation.”

“Parents should absolutely be ready to fold their stroller themselves before handing it off to gate agents or ground staff, unless they physically need assistance,” Laurie said.

“Well, there’s two little buttons on the side. Like, does he not see those?” one bystander said just seconds before the workers cracked the code.

When the stroller finally collapsed into the flat position, the waiting crowd erupted into cheers and applause for the workers on the ground.

One of the baggage handlers even joined in, applauding himself for finally winning the “fight” against the stroller before loading it into the plane’s cargo hold.

“Staff are there to help manage the process.”

Laurie warned that because every stroller is different, there’s no guarantee the staff has encountered that particular product before to ensure they can collapse it without damage.

“Staff are there to help manage the process, but they should not be expected to wrestle with unfamiliar gear while boarding is underway,” he added.

To avoid a similar scene, Laurie suggests parents remove all personal items, know how their stroller folds before getting to the gate, and be prepared to do it quickly.

The struggle resonated with parents on Reddit, many of whom admitted they have been outsmarted by their own baby gear.

Birth tourism businesses thrive as Supreme Court weighs citizenship rules

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Birth tourism has become big business, as concierge services and others rake in cash assisting foreigners who want to have their babies in the U.S.

The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments beginning Wednesday on a challenge to President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14160, which limits birthright citizenship in the U.S.

The term birth tourism in general refers to foreign nationals traveling to another country and giving birth there so that their newborn children can obtain citizenship in that particular country. 

AMERICAN OFFICIALS WARN NIGERIAN WOMEN AGAINST BIRTH TOURISM: ‘THIS IS NOT PERMITTED’

A concierge service in South Florida called Have my Baby in Miami provides maternity services that have helped with over 2,000 international births, according to the firm’s website.

“The dream of having your child in a country with one of the best medical systems in the world is much more real than you think,” the practice notes.

The practice asks parents to prepare travel documents for all those taking part, recommending a minimum validity period of six months, starting on the day scheduled for arrival in the United States.

Parents must begin the process of applying for the baby’s documentation prior to their return trip.

“We offer support and information on how to carry out these activities, which are usually completed easily,” the practice notes on its site.

Testimonials by parents from such countries as Brazil and Colombia are featured on the website, with many praising the practice’s continued support once they’re back in their home countries.

“It was worth the sacrifice.”

“We are very pleased with the decision to have our baby in Miami by this excellent group of professionals,” wrote Marypaz from Colombia (no last name given). 

“It was worth the sacrifice to be away from our country and our family at this important time.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the Have my Baby in Miami practice for comment.

Section one of the 14th Amendment automatically grants citizenship to all persons born in the United States. Given that courts have routinely upheld birthright citizenship for over a century now, the Trump administration faces an uphill battle, as Fox News Digital has previously reported.  

University of California Berkeley law professor John Yoo told Fox News Digital he believes the Supreme Court will overrule the Trump birthright order.

“The better way to operate under the current constitutional rule of birthright citizenship is to more vigorously enforce visas and to shut down businesses that encourage and enable birth tourism,” said Yoo.

A recent Fox News Poll found that 69% of voters support birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants — which is up from 45%, when Fox News first asked the question in 2006.

The most common visas abused when it comes to birth tourism are B-2 tourist visas and B-1 business visas — which is what prompted the State Department to introduce a new rule in 2020.

"The better way to operate under the current constitutional rule of birthright citizenship is to more vigorously enforce visas and to shut down businesses that encourage and enable birth tourism," said a professor of law.

“A consular officer shall deny a B nonimmigrant visa to an alien [whom] he or she has reason to believe intends to travel for this primary purpose,” the rule reads.

The rule states that “the department considers birth tourism an inappropriate basis for the issuance of temporary visitor visas.”

President Trump called out birth tourism in a Truth Social post Monday, calling out China for exploiting U.S. birthright citizenship. 

“The department considers birth tourism an inappropriate basis for the issuance of temporary visitor visas.”

“Birthright Citizenship is not about rich people from China, and the rest of the World, who want their children, and hundreds of thousands more,” he wrote, “FOR PAY, to ridiculously become citizens of the United States of America. It is about the BABIES OF SLAVES!”

The president added, “The World is getting rich selling citizenships to our Country.”

In July, the U.S. Mission to Nigeria shared a stark warning about “birth tourism” to those who might be planning trips to America primarily for this reason.

“Using your visa to travel for the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States so that your child will have U.S. citizenship is not permitted,” the mission wrote on its X account.

The notice was posted on Facebook as well. 

“We will deny your visa if we believe your primary purpose of travel is to give birth in the United States to get U.S. citizenship for your child. This is not permitted,” the post stated.

The Supreme Court’s decision on the birthright citizenship issue is expected in late June.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says US can see the finish line in Iran conflict

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday the U.S. is nearing the “finish line” in its conflict with Iran, while warning that Tehran was seeking to become the next North Korea.

Rubio told “Hannity” Tuesday that Iran was pursuing intercontinental missiles capable of striking the United States and would have achieved those objectives if President Donald Trump had not launched Operation Epic Fury.

“They were aiming to become the next North Korea, except not a North Korea run by a regime that is troublesome and hard to understand, but an Iran run by radical Shia clerics with intercontinental missiles that could reach the mainland of the United States eventually,” the Secretary of State said.

“That’s what they would have ultimately achieved… had President Trump not taken these steps that he’s taken.”

Rubio accused Iran’s regime of misleading the public about its ballistic missile capabilities, saying officials “denied” their missiles could reach as far as London.

“[Abbas] Araghchi, their foreign minister, this guy is a liar,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “This guy was on television like a week ago – two weeks ago – denying that Iran had any missiles that could go beyond a certain limitation.

Trump has recently said the Iran conflict could last only a few more weeks, as Operation Epic Fury nears 33 days, with Rubio echoing that the end is near.

“We can see the finish line. It’s not today, it’s not tomorrow, but it is coming,” Rubio said.

Rubio has signaled progress in talks with Iran, noting that while Tehran remains publicly defiant, its officials are being more cooperative in private discussions.

But he said President Trump will not be “strung” along like the Biden administration.

“What President Trump is not going to allow is he’s not going to allow fake negotiations to be used as a delay tactic, to buy more time, to buy themselves space,” Rubio explained.

Iranian leadership remains fluid, according to reports, as Pakistan announced Sunday that it will host talks between the United States and Iran.

Rubio warned that if a deal is not reached, the United States will not stop its military campaign.

TRUMP’S IRAN STRATEGY IS WORKING AND TEACHING OUR FOES WHAT DETERRENCE MEANS

“We’re not going to allow… the failure of talks to impede our ability to defend this country and to protect this country from a real threat,” he declared.

Rubio argued the Iranian regime is made up of people with destructive tendencies.

“This is a regime led by people who believe that it is their calling and their purpose in life is to usher in the end of the world,” he told Fox News. “These people want nuclear weapons.

Iran building basement drone factories with Chinese parts, expert warns

0

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Iran is building a decentralized drone warfare capability in Tehran’s apartment building basements powered by inexpensive technology sourced from China, a leading defense expert has warned.

Draganfly’s Cameron Chell also said this emerging system — centered on first-person-view (FPV) drones — could pose a threat not only across the Middle East but potentially to the U.S. homeland.

The FPVs are Iran’s Hail Mary because they are very hard to defend, are incredibly effective and can be delivered in a manner without having to have a central command,” Chell told Fox News Digital.

“So, whether it’s the Iranian army, whether it’s militia groups or Iranian patriots, they can all create or procure their own FPVs and get offensive.”

EX-CIA STATION CHIEF WARNS US TROOP DEPLOYMENT TO KEY IRANIAN ISLAND COULD BE ‘EXTREMELY RISKY’

He added that “Iran could be reiterating FPVs and churning out more than 100,000 a month over time.”

“Iran’s got either militias or sleeper cells in the states who can, in my estimation, already build this equipment,” Chell clarified.

Chell’s warning comes as recent incidents in Iraq highlight the growing use of FPVs.

At Baghdad International Airport, Iranian-backed militias operating under the “Iraqi Islamic Resistance” umbrella have launched multiple FPV drone attacks.

Footage released in March 2026 allegedly shows an FPV drone striking a U.S. UH-60M or HH-60M Black Hawk helicopter, while another attack successfully hit a U.S. AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel radar unit at the same base.

“FPVs are a central core theme, and Iran is building these itself, suspecting they’re pulling parts in from China and getting the parts through some pretty porous borders. So, it is very difficult to stop that,” Chell said.

He warned that Iran’s strategy mirrors what has already occurred in Ukraine, where decentralized drone manufacturing has flourished.

“There will be, or already is, an underground industry for FPV and drone manufacturing, which will or is swelling up inside Iran, the exact same way that we saw it swell up inside Ukraine,” he explained.

“This is going to be happening in people’s homes in Iran, people’s basements, the basements of apartment blocks, where they can construct makeshift assembly lines.

“I am confident China and Russia are shipping in parts to help support the development of drone assembly or manufacturing capability, which is a de facto decentralized cottage industry.”

Concerns extend beyond overseas battlefields as about 1,500 Iranians were intercepted at the U.S. border during the Biden administration.

Officials warn the unknown number who evaded detection raises fears of potential “sleeper cells.”

MORE THAN 90% OF IRANIAN MISSILES INTERCEPTED, BUT A DANGEROUS IMBALANCE IS EMERGING

President Trump acknowledged the issue March 11, saying, “A lot of people came in through Biden with his stupid open border, but we know where most of them are: We’ve got our eye on all of them, I think.”

“It is the beginning of an asymmetric capability that the Iranians will use against their neighbors and U.S. assets in the region, but also the U.S. homeland,” Chell said.

“We may even want to call it terrorist attacks, using FPV’s against their neighbors and practically anywhere in the world.

“It’s a matter of when we see FPV attacks, probably swarm, probably sophisticated, on U.S. soil.”

“Within the next eight months, the Iranians are going to have sophisticated drone systems that can defeat some RF/radio frequency jamming. They will start to use tactics like swarming or spoofing,” he warned.

“It will be very, very difficult for the U.S. to take out these little drone factories in the basements of apartment blocks where civilians help. Cutting supply chains will also be difficult.

“The primary choke point for the Iranians is to establish supply chains from China to have enough supply to constitute precision mass capability and/or consistent, pervasive asymmetric capability,” Chell said before stating that, if this happens, “the war between Iran and the U.S. just gets a lot longer.”

New museum fees for foreign visitors mulled in UK following France’s Louvre move

A new recommendation currently under discussion in the United Kingdom would change how foreigners visit popular national museums such as the British Museum and the National Gallery. 

Margaret Hodge, a former Labour Party member of Parliament, submitted an independent review of the Arts Council England that suggests reform and addresses funding shortfalls by employing a new financial push — which the government has agreed to explore.

The video shows the traveler walking through the massive crowd at George Bush Intercontinental Airport with a large frosted bottle and a stack of plastic cups.

He began pouring shots for frustrated travelers who were stuck in a line that stretched far outside the terminal doors.

Iron Age wagon remnants unearthed in Yorkshire may be first ever in Britain

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Archaeologists have discovered four-wheeled wagons — the first such discovery in Great Britain.

The researchers announced their findings in the journal Antiquity on March 17.

The vehicle remnants were unearthed at an Iron Age site near the village of Melsonby, some 35 miles south of Durham, in Yorkshire, England. 

MASSIVE INDUSTRIAL SITE UNCOVERED IN UNLIKELY LOCATION AS ARCHAEOLOGISTS CITE ‘ENORMOUS’ POTENTIAL

Researchers conducted a metal-detecting survey in the area in 2021, leading to an excavation in 2022.

The cache was found during the excavation, though the researchers’ findings were not announced until the paper was recently published.

Dating from 100 B.C. to 40 A.D., the items were discovered less than a mile from Stanwick.

Stanwick, a prominent Iron Age stronghold in northern England, is widely believed to have been a political hub of the Brigantes, a powerful Celtic confederation with a complex relationship with Rome.

The remains of the wagons were found among 950 metal objects, which also included vehicle parts and harness fittings for horses.

The area “is only just beginning to reveal its secrets.”

Archaeologists also found ceremonial vessels and weapons in the cache and — crucially — kingpins, which were used for steering the vehicles.

The collection also included cylindrical iron bands and U-shaped brackets, which, when pieced together, appear to be hub collars from four-wheeled wagons.

In the article, researchers said the artifacts represented “one of the largest Iron Age metalwork deposits found so far in Britain.”

The hoard also “represents the first potential tangible evidence” of four-wheeled wagons in Britain, the paper added.

“Among the tires was a series of broad, flat iron bars with a central U-shaped bend, described here as brackets,” the paper said.

“These items are not found on two-wheeled chariots in Britain.”

The wagons would likely have been used by high-status elites in ancient Britain as symbols of wealth — similar to sports cars today.

The researchers wrote that the presence of four-wheeled wagons at Melsonby “would transform our understanding of the forms of wheeled transport and the role of such vehicles in the British Iron Age.

“At the same time, the scale of the Melsonby deposits emphasizes that communities in northern Britain had levels of material wealth comparable to their counterparts elsewhere in Europe,” the paper said.

Researchers stressed that the conservation and analysis of the parts are “still in the early stages … [F]urther work will significantly augment our understanding of this material; Melsonby is only just beginning to reveal its secrets.”

The crystal-clear blue waters of the Bahamas, a paradise for tourists, are also home to sharks — and a new study suggests these sharks are being exposed to drugs.

Airports update arrival time tips amid TSA shortage from DHS shutdown

0

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Airports are still recovering from the fallout of the DHS shutdown that resulted in a shortage of transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers — and some are now changing their advisory messages to travelers.

John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Ohio is cautioning passengers to arrive just 1.5 hours before their flights depart.

“Early morning travel PSA, 90 minutes before departure is the sweet spot,” the airport posted on X on Thursday.

TSA OFFICERS LOSE HOMES, CAN’T PAY MEDICAL BILLS, CAN’T AFFORD EASTER BASKETS FOR THEIR CHILDREN

“Showing up too early creates those first-wave lines,” the post also said. “Even when lines stretch to ticketing, waits are usually [about] 45 mins.”

The airport also attached a graphic of suggested arrival times for flights starting at 5 p.m. through 12 p.m.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas wrote on X it’s expecting over 30,000 travelers to be processed by TSA on Monday.

“There is no need to line up more than 4 hours before your flight, as this causes congestion in the lines for those flying out sooner,” the airport wrote.

“Arriving 2.5 hours early for domestic flights and 3 hours for international flights is our recommendation,” it added.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is still advising passengers to arrive at least four hours early.
