Witnesses first spotted the man on 47th Street near Rockefeller Center before he took off west toward Times Square and climbed to the top of the TKTS booth at Seventh Avenue at about 8 a.m., shouting obscenities. The man demanded a meeting with GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee, who has a scheduled appearance in New Hampshire later today. “Donald Trump, where are you, Donald Trump, where the f– are you?!” he shouted from a ledge on top of the stairs, 16 feet above the Times Square pavement. ...

Talk Of Moving TSA Checkpoints Outside June 29, 2016 9:49 PM   By Andrea Lucia June 9th, 2015 Show your ID, take off your shoes, hand over the carry-on and maybe, just maybe, get a pat-down! TSA checkpoints are a hassle travelers have come to accept, but new layers of  security  could further test your patience. Recent attacks on international airports in Brussels and Istanbul have some government agencies looking at expanded security perimeters. In both cases, terrorists in Brussels and Istanbul were able to bring bombs into airports, but not past checkpoints. Moving those checkpoints to the curb or inspecting cars as they first enter the airport could keep terrorists from ever making it inside. “Everyone’s talking about it,” said aviation security expert Denny Kelly. “They’re talking about it in terms of, ‘Can we do this? And if we do it, what’s it going to cost us?'” Kelly predicts it would be expensive and inconvenient. “People are going to...

VIDEO: ‘3 Amigos’ look more like 3 Stooges during botched handshake JUNE 29, 2016 BY OLAF EKBERG was like something straight out of a Three Stooges episode. President Barack Obama, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto — the so-called “3 Amigos” — were hoping to look like the North American tough guys after the earth  establishment shaking Brexit vote last week. Instead, they looked like Larry, Moe and Curly. Hands were flying, left hands were shaking, other hands were just dangling, waiting for any touch from a fellow leftist — it was almost as if someone’s hand was going to windmill and hit somebody else on top of the head.

Workers jog around a manmade cavern plopping items into yellow and black crates. Towering hydraulic arms lift heavy boxes toward the rafters. And an army of stubby orange robots slide along the floor like giant, sentient hockey pucks, piled high with towers of consumer gratification ranging from bestsellers to kitchenware. Those are Kiva robots, once the marvel of warehouses everywhere. Amazon whipped out its wallet and threw down $775 million to purchase these robot legions in 2012. The acquisition effecti...
