Staffers at the Senate Press Gallery have been noticing heavy usage on one of their printers in recent weeks and set out to find out why. (The gallery, if you do not know, is the place where Capitol Hill reporters congregate to report and write the news).
It was suspected that cleaning crews or others who come into the gallery after hours had been using the printer (and the computer to which it was attached). And so a quiet investigation was launched, and one staffer discovered a suspicious file in the computer and printed it out.
Eureka.
The printer spewed page after page from the Daily Racing Form, showing entries at Laurel Park in Maryland. No one knows who did this, and whether it was someone from the cleaning crew or a reporter staying late at night.
"Needless to say, the access code has been changed," said the gallery's deputy, Joan McKinney. Also, there will be a sign on the computer declaring it and the printer for gallery use only.
