9/11 Spending Spree

In the mad rush to get a new airport screening system in place after 9/11, Washington threw around billions of your money. Now they're beginning to find out where a lot of it went.

The Washington Post details the case of Sunnye L. Sims who ran an even planning business on 9/11. She ran it out of her modest, two bedroom apartment in California.

She landed a government contract that paid her $5.4 million in just nine months and paid for her new $1.9 million mansion. In all, her tiny company has billed Uncle Sam for $24 million. (WashPost)
