WASHINGTON – The Transportation Security Administration has ousted its head of security operations and put new leadership in charge of screening operations at a major international airport, but long checkpoint lines and travel headaches already pervading the busy summer travel season are likely to continue.

Kelly Hoggan was removed from his post as the agency’s top security official Monday and replaced by a former federal security director in Los Angeles and New York, Darby LaJoye.

Hoggan’s ouster was announced Monday after a series of Capitol Hill hearings focused on allegations of agency mismanagement and growing concerns about airport wait times.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. – Bill Cosby was ordered Tuesday to stand trial on sexual assault charges after a hearing that hinged on a decade-old police report in which a woman said the comedian gave her three blue pills that put her in a stupor, unable to stop his advances.

District Judge Elizabeth McHugh ruled that prosecutors had sufficient evidence to bring Cosby to trial in the lone criminal case brought against him out of the barrage of allegations that he drugged and molested dozens of women. A trial date was not immediately set.

Cosby, 78, could get 10 years in prison if convicted.

The judge set an arraignment for July 20.

ISTANBUL, TURKEY – Turkey’s president has warned that his country wouldn’t move forward on a refugee readmission agreement with the European Union unless visa requirements are lifted for Turkish citizens without further conditions.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday that: “If you’re still imposing criteria on Turkey which provides important support to the European Union by preventing those living in camps and pre-fabricated homes who are waiting to go to Europe (from getting there), then I’m sorry.”

Erdogan added that if further talks on the visa issue didn’t yield results, “the readmission agreement” on refugees wouldn’t be approved.
