Plus, neighbors say one dangerous intersection is causing accidents. Find out what neighbors say is to blame for the danger. And there's new outrage over those extra baggage fees that some airlines charge. They're charging soldiers, too. Learn how much they're charging soldiers just to bring their military gear with them. And talk about a bad first day of school. Find out what happened when one little Kansas girl got on the wrong bus. One woman is recovering after she was kidnapped. The Kansas Energy Council wants you to slow down on highways, but they'll be taking your input on the idea first. Shawnee County wants more corrections officers for their juvenile detention center.
