She was running late to meet a volunteer from an animal-rescue group who was waiting on Raimi's front lawn with Pistachio, the Heinz 57-variety mutt that would be moving in with Raimi and her husband, Al. It appears Toni Raimi might need some company since she'd just returned from watching her husband, a lead Transportation Security Agency officer at Newark Liberty International Airport, plead guilty to stealing between $10,000 and $30,000 from unsuspecting travelers he was running through the B-3 security checkpoint at Terminal B at the airport.
