Stranded Jetskier Walks Across JFK Runways, Into Terminal Undetected
$100 million dollar price tag of the security system..... (www.nbcnewyork.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Here's the Chinese answer at Chin Chang Quan Air Base, Taiwan 1974. An armed guard in a booth at the hold short line. If he got an OK from the tower to let you pass, you were waived on. If you proceeded without that OK, he shot your tires out. If you still tried to go, he would shoot the cockpit. Simple, straightforward and cheap. I like Kevin's idea. However, 30K is too much. How about $12/hour and free meals in the employee cafeteria? What, no cafeteria? They could live in crash pads around the airport, buy their own food like aircrews and make decent $$. Problem is, if the bad guys knew this, the guards would never see anyone and get bored or maybe bought off and finally the idea would be replaced by technology. The irony of this is that it was so innocent that it worked.
And all the politician can say is "we have to have an investigation" to figure out "how to improve it". As in throw more money at it! How about make whoever has the $100 million in their pocket fix the damn thing!!
For that much money, hire 3 shifts with 1100 people per shift, pay each person $30,000 per year, and set their asses around the perimeter with instructions to call if somebody walks by! lol

The entire system failed. 8' wall, sensors, cameras, airport security on wheels, ATC, TSA...etc.
If a guy on a broken jet ski can do it, just wait until the bad guys show up?

Can you imagine walking across two runways at JFK? Can you imagine a plane taxiing or taking off and seeing a wet guy probably in a bathing suit just walking across the airfield? This guy was probably thinking some one will see me and come out and give me a ride and everything will be OK when I tell them my story, right? He was probably amazed that he got all the way to the terminal and had to notify someone. I'll stay away from all the comments about security, TSA and the Port Authority. Our airport security is a complete SNAFU.
Classic example of why we need less government programs and more private contractors...
