TSA Video Cameras at Newark Liberty International Airport Not Recording at Time of Security Breach

Posted in: Barack Obama,Politics,Travel,US National Security,War on Terror,WTF

YET ANOTHER SYSTEMIC FAILURE, WHY ARE THEY ALL HAPPENING NOW UNDER BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA?

A not so funny thing happened on the way to investigating the security breach at Newark Liberty International Airport …

The TSA has admitted that their cameras at Newark Liberty International Airport were running but not recording during the security breach that took place last Sunday. Are you kidding me? The TSA officials had to use  security tapes recorded by Continental Airlines’ cameras instead and confirmed that an “Asian male.”  UNREAL! How could a security camera not be working? These people are responsible for the safety and security of air passengers and act in such total disregard.

Do these people actually care about keeping people safe? Broken cameras, AWOL employees, GOOD GRIEF!!!

FEELING SAFE AMERICA, THE TSA CAMERA HAD NOT BEEN WORKING FOR 6 DAYS!!!

On Sunday, a man walked the wrong way through security at Newark Liberty International Airport, prompting a security breach that shut down Terminal C for hours and forced the rescreening of thousands of passengers.

Spokeswoman Ann Davis said a passenger notified a TSA officer Sunday afternoon about a person who he believed had walked through the wrong way at a security exit. The passenger could not provide a description of the person, Davis said.

In an attempt to confirm the breach by videotape, from cameras that the TSA funded and the Port Authority installed and operated, TSA officials realized that the cameras were running but not recording.

Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-New Jersey, said at a news conference Wednesday that the camera recording system has been down since December 28, although a Homeland Security official could not confirm that. The Port Authority did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Feeling safe America? What’s worse, the major negligence or the management failure, or both?

He then walked past a podium where a TSA worker was supposed to be stationed…but it now appears he was AWOL. After, this massive breach of security, the man, who remains unidentified, simply walked out of the terminal.

How on earth could no one know that the survelliance video cameras were not working? How could it take an incident like this to have a meeting take place to make sure the cameras are checked?

After meeting with the Port Authority about the breach, the TSA has volunteered to check the cameras daily to ensure that they are recording, Davis said.

She also said the TSA has changed the location of the officers’ station at the exit lanes in Terminal C and added staffing there.

The airport source said the TSA “uses that [camera] system on a daily basis.”

“They have that system at their workstations. They have the ability to check it. They need to check it and tell the Port Authority if it’s not working,” they said.
