While some Americans while away the hours today and tomorrow in airport lines made longer by new and intrusive TSA protocols, others will be counting their blessings. In the case of Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), those blessings are valued at between $500,000 and $1 million.
That’s the value of the stock in L-3 Communications, a Massachusetts-based company, held in the name of the Senator’s wife, Teresa Heinz, according to federal financial disclosure reports.
