A source who spoke with airport police says that yesterday's security lockdown at Washington Dulles International Airport was prompted by a male passenger who left the security screening area to go to baggage claim and returned through a secure door. Since he bypassed TSA security screening, airport police shut down the airport for 45 minutes at 4:30 p.m.



Bypassing FTSA security screening actually makes the airport safer.

What the hell is wrong with this comment system?
Yeah, this level of over-reaction at the "sterile" area being breached would be somewhat understandable, if it weren't for the fact that you can literally drive a truck to the airside without being searched.
Security theater, pure and simple.
Security theater indeed!
