[UPDATE BELOW] On Monday Bucky Turco at Animal New York published this photo he took at La Guardia airport, showing a Transportation Security Administration agent apparently napping. Now the unidentified worker is under investigation and has been reassigned to desk duty. High-five? A TSA spokesman tells the AP she may have been on break, but whatever, we certainly wouldn't want her sharp and well-rested while on the job, and the rules require her to rest in the designated TSA break room. Turco acknowledged that, "to be fair," she may have been on break, but he still got an earful from one Animal New York commenter: more ›

James O’Keefe, the twenty-something conservative gadfly, has issued a statement explaining why he, with three others, were arrested for posing as telephone workers in Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's office on Monday. O'Keefe, who got famous after he punk'd some workers at community organizing group ACORN last September, says that contrary to "the false claims being repeated by much of the mainstream media," they were not trying to bug Landrieu's phones. Oh no, they were just trying to verify why her "constituents were having trouble getting through to her office." While O'Keefe admits he could have "used a different approach," he expects the media to apologize "for their journalistic malpractice" at once! In the meantime, he's charged with "entering a federal property on false pretenses with the purpose of committing a felony," which is how latte-swilling Obama elites treat Real Americans who are only trying to help. more ›

A 21-year-old JetBlue baggage handler apparently dozed off in a plane's cargo bin at JFK Airport— and then found himself stuck inside while the plane was in transit. The Daily News says that Sidney Nurse called JetBlue (from the plane) about being stuck, but had wait to after the plane landed 200 miles north at Logan Airport in Boston until he was rescued. And luckily the plane's cargo hold is pressurized—Nurse was relatively unscathed. Still, the Massachusetts State Police said, "Even after talking to him, we were a little uncertain as to how it happened. This may have been accidental." JetBlue is investigating the Saturday incident; Nurse returned home—in a passenger seat—on another flight. more ›

The Department of Buildings issued a stop work order at 420 Park Avenue South, a construction site where worker Anthony Paino, 28, fell 10 stories to his death yesterday. The building planned for the site is the Gansevoort Park, a 19-story hotel. According to the Staten Island Advance, "A preliminary investigation indicated that Paino was preparing the job site for concrete work...He was supposed to have been working on a column close to the building's edge, but inside protective guardrails, according to Levine Builders, the general contractor for the project." The Daily News, which said it was Paino's first day at the site, reports that it appears, per other workers, that Paino was not wearing a required harness, "Paino had climbed outside a safety railing to install or repair some rebar, coworkers said. He was standing on a flimsy piece of plywood that gave way under his weight." Friends say Paino just bought a house with his fiancee and worked another job as a pizza delivery man. more ›
