A TSA agent at JFK International Airport sent six agents—including himself—to the hospital after he confused pepper spray for a laser pointer. Chris Dabel found the canister on the floor and figured the best course of action would be to point it at five of his co-workers. This led to a rather painful trip to Jamaica Hospital.

None

Now Dabel is that co-worker.
