An incident that reportedly led a TSA agent to accidentally shoot five fellow employees with pepper spray left Kennedy International Airport with mud in its eye.
According to the New York Post, the stinging substance that is meant to be aimed at the face, and can cause major eye irritation, sent all six airport security screeners to the hospital.
The Post reports:
The agent, Chris Yves Dabel, discovered the device at the Terminal 2 security checkpoint and tried to determine if it was real, a source told The Post.
He told Port Authority cops that he “found the canister on the floor and thought it was a laser pointer.”
“They were playing around with it,” said one Kennedy Airport official.

You aren’t supposed to direct laser pointers to the face either.
But overall I find it pretty damn funny.
Too bad it wasn’t bear spray.

Is this like accidentally shooting a co-worker five times in the groin?

Well done, Agent Dabel!
Give that man an MP-5 and 10,000 rounds of DHS .40 S&W.
