by the network, a CBS spokesperson said on Saturday, a day after he was
arrested in Washington, D.C., on a charge of soliciting prostitution.

Bill Cosby thanks Denver fans as protesters chant 'shame!'
By
Daniel Wallis DENVER (Reuters) - Bill Cosby thanked hundreds of fans
who turned out for shows in Denver on Saturday as a small gathering of
protesters outside the theater denounced the comedian, who has been
accused of sexual assault by more than a dozen women in the past three
months. The star of NBC hit 1980s family sitcom "The Cosby Show" denies
the allegations, many of which are decades old and fall outside the
statute of limitations for criminal or civil cases. His lawyer has
called the claims "discredited" and "defamatory." Cosby has never been
charged over any of the allegations. Outside the Buell Theatre in
downtown Denver, about 40 protesters chanted "No more jokes!" and some
pointed and shouted "Shame on you!" and "Rape supporters!" at ticket
holders as they lined up to get in for the first of two shows.Read More ...
Arrest of U.S. FAA inspector prompts new security rules, training
(Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Saturday suspended a program that allows its inspectors to skip security checkpoints on the job after one of them was arrested with a firearm in his carry-on bag, according to officials and media reports. The arrest at New York's LaGuardia Airport on Tuesday also prompted FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta to ramp up security training of its inspectors during the temporary suspension of the program, according to the agency's statement on Saturday. The program allowed the inspectors to bypass the checkpoints and access secure areas of the airports while performing their normal duties. The FAA said it would also require inspectors to sign an agreement stating that weapons-related infractions will result in their permanently losing the ability to bypass the checkpoints.
