When Invasion, the ABC science-fiction show, ended its first season May 17, a key character was in mortal peril and alien-human hybrids had rounded up nonhybrids, concentration-camp style, in a storm-drenched south Florida town. The ending had all the makings of a cliffhanger, but ABC had announced its fall-season schedule the day before -- and Invasion wasn't on it. No second season. No cliffhanger resolution. No indication of a bounce to, say, a cable network. That wasn't good enough for Lizzie Ernst, a Dallas artist and FedEx Kinko's employee.

Experienced travelers know it's critical to keep important documents, cash and credit cards close and out of unscrupulous hands. Nothing can spoil a vacation faster than the theft of your passport or money. Nothing, that is, except the theft of your personal information. More than a third of the 686,000 complaints that the Federal Trade Commission received last year were about identity theft, making it the No. 1 reported problem. Although many of us have heeded the warnings to guard our Social Security numbers and shred documents that contain sensitive information, two recent incidents have given travelers pause.
