Yesterday (January 17, 2010), traveling public experienced another major air travel disruption because one individual opened a door into a restricted area. This resulted in all of the people who had been cleared through security and those who had already boarded planes being evacuated and rescreened at the American Airlines terminal in New York’s JFK Airport. Two weeks before a similar incident occurred at the Newark Liberty Airport. This time authorities were able apprehend the intruder quickly. I’m sure this will result in calls for more draconian punishments than those for simple trespassing.
Both incidents aren’t related to terrorism and most likely due to carelessness. My question is why have unlocked doors that anyone can open that allows access which breaks down security? Shouldn’t such doors be locked or even permanently blocked? Locking or blocking these doors would prevent these accidental breeches from happening. It makes a lot more sense than sentencing the hapless to felony sentences in prison. It would also save the airlines money and the traveling public a lot of inconvenience.
