Rather than gifting neighbors with small baskets of treats this May Day, the Occupy Wall Street crowd (yes, they’re still around) decided to wreck havoc in major cities across the nation. Nothing says, “I’m a serious adult” quite like vandalism. 

Occupy Oakland got started early with vandalism in San Francisco. Participants smashed store windows and cars during a mile-long trek through the city. They also slashed tires and threw bags of paint at buildings.

The scene inside JetBlue Flight 191The JetBlue pilot who melted down during a flight from New York to Las Vegas this week has been identified. Captain Clayton Osbon will have his name in the record books, no doubt, as the guy who gave passengers something new to worry about: what the person controlling the plane is really up to. But the names that we may never know or will soon forget are the people who put the "friendly" into our skies. 

Let me put it to you this way: the passengers that you look at sideways when you're on the plane, worrying that they could be packing a bomb that the TSA missed? Those are the kind of people who became sudden heroes on JetBlue Flight 191 this week.

Warning. What you are about to read may keep you from ever climbing in an airplane again. A pilot was locked out of a JetBlue cockpit and the Las Vegas-bound plane diverted to Texas because the man was acting all crazypants.

Everyone is fine, including the passengers who restrained the unruly pilot as they say he yelled scary threats like "bomb" and "we're going down." Thank goodness! But it certainly makes you wonder, doesn't it? Why is everyone who says they're afraid of flying still talking about terrorists?

Man oh man, will the TSA ever learn? One of their agents was caught on video at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport over the weekend busting a major terrorist. Oh wait, no they weren't. It was a 3-year-old boy in a wheelchair. The TSA was just treating him like a hardened criminal.

To be honest, when I first watched the video of Matt Dubiel's little boy getting the terrorist treatment, I wanted to give the TSA the benefit of the doubt. The agent seemed respectful, and you just never know what some creep could have stuck in the back of that wheelchair. But then things got nuts.

Disneyland was NOT the Happiest Place on Earth today. Not for the tens of thousands of people stuck in the parking lot for 3 hours due to a "bomb scare" that turned out to be ... ha. Not that scary.

Apparently there was an object of ... um ... questionable intent (?) spotted in a tree near the park entrance by a security officer (one who as it turns out apparently needs binoculars or glasses or a hobby) at approximately 7:10 a.m. this morning.

So in a very TSA-esque move, Disney officials put the park on lockdown, trapping lots and lots and lots of families in their cars (Son of a Mickey, can you imagine the tantrums happening in those vehicles?!). Two words you never, ever thought you'd hear in the same sentence: "Disney" and "lockdown."

I tell you what, I bet there were lots of other words you never, ever thought you'd hear at Disneyland when those families found out what the suspicious object really was ...

Rush Limbaugh had to take some time off Thursday from his busy week of bashing women to welcome none other than a bomb squad into his home in Palm Beach, Florida. The authorities had been called to investigate a suspicious package that was sent to the radio-talk show giant and, after his staff scanned it in an x-ray machine, appeared to have wires inside.

Thankfully, the bomb squad inspected the parcel and determined that it did not contain explosives. (It turned out to be some sort of electronic plaque concerning the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth.) I can't even imagine how scary it must be to receive something like that in your home, but it really makes you wonder about Limbaugh ...

It's unnerving to think that while we're all going about our regular, day-to-day business, there are terrorists plotting suicide attacks on U.S. soil. It's just not something we think about as an everyday threat, but today, we're reminded that it could very well be our reality. News recently broke that the FBI and the U.S. Capitol Police have arrested a 29-year-old Moroccan man named Amine el-Khalifi today in downtown D.C. after a lengthy investigation into an alleged plot to carry out a suicide attack on the Capitol.

Apparently FBI agents posed as al-Qaeda associates and provided el-Khalifi with an inoperable gun and a fake suicide vest. The man had these items on him when he was taken into custody today, as he was on his way to the Capitol for what he thought would be the suicide attack.

Geeze, the intense lead-up to this arrest sounds like a plot right out of a Bourne movie or another popcorn flick thriller -- which makes it even scarier.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents get a bad rap for a good reason. It seems they often can't get anything right, and yesterday's bomb scare at LaGuardia Airport in New York City is no different.

The TSA found two objects in a passenger's suitcase that looked like pipe bombs. They asked the passenger, he explained they were for making homeopathic medicine, and they let him go. Then they kept the objects for six long hours before calling the police. Yes, that's right. They took six hours to report a potential bomb threat in a public place.

The TSA says they knew the objects were safe and that they weren't going to explode, but still. These are the same people who detain cancer patients and children for pat-downs.
