JFK Airport Terminal Being Evacuated After Security Breach

ramzi-binalshibhAnd the wonderful leadership and security of this country. CBS 2 in New York is reporting that officials are evacuating a terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City because of a security breach. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Steve Coleman says travelers at Kennedy’s Terminal 8 are being asked to leave and will be re-screened. Coleman didn’t describe the breach.

The breach appears to be an unauthorized entrance, though there has not yet been any speculation on any criminality involved.

Terminal 8 is primarily an American Airlines terminal.

A man was charged last week with breaching security at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey on Jan. 3. Flights were grounded for hours and passengers were re-screened while air safety officials searched for him. Haisong Jiang is scheduled to be arraigned on January 28 in Newark Municipal Court on a misdemeanor trespassing charge.
