Post Naked swimmer nabbed near JFK airport fuel farm

A man found swimming naked in the waterway next to the fuel farm for New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday has been charged with trespassing.

The swimmer was spotted at 10:50 a.m. by roving airport patrols, according to Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Even Letterman was joking about this tonight.

First he said that getting naked, climbing over a fence, etc was still easier than the TSA security.

Later he said apparently Congressman Weiner's rehab was failing.

When they showed the preview for Craig's show, he was making fun of it too.

That's funny, huh? How did he sneak into JFK property? He is not supposed go on fuel farm without proper permission. He could be arrested for charge with trespassing. He could be spent for 30 days in Rikers Island facility.

Did they check the fuel farm for bombs, contamination or any evidence of damage?

Also if someone can get into the fuel farm for a swim why couldn't a Real Evul Islumist Turrist get in and blow it up?

He was near the fuel farm, he never entered the restricted area. He climbed a fence for a swim, when they went after him he moved towards the dock near the farm.

Hot day, crazy man sheds clothing climbs fence goes for a swim. It would not be news except anything that happens near an airport is now front page news.

He was carrying nothing, he got near nothing, they saw him and they immediately sent people out to investigate. Everything worked the way it should have, yet it's still world wide news.
