Orlando "Homie" Shuts Down JFK Airport in NYC

JFK Terminal Evacuated After Security Breach

quote:

The security breach apparently involved a passenger who arrived on a flight from Orlando, Fla., and, while exiting Kennedy's Terminal 8, opened a door that was supposed to be used only by airport workers.


and this:

TSA released a statement on the incident:

"At approximately 3:30 pm EST at John F. Kennedy International Airport, an individual entered the sterile area in Terminal 8 through a non-public, employee door used by airlines. TSA is working closely with the Port Authority to find the individual. The terminal is being evacuated in order to rescreen all passengers to ensure the safety of the traveling public."

Hey...Gun Shy has a suggestion for the security geniuses at JFK. Set up the "employee only" door with a card reader or a fob, and then no one who is not authorized will be able to accidentally or intentionally for that matter walk through it and shut down the terminal.


Some additional reading on another TSA fopa here.
