Since March 2023, more than 300 people have bypassed airport security by skipping ID checks or going the wrong way through exit lanes.
In the past year, Newark Liberty International Airport has seen an uptick of people breaching exit lanes. Yehyun Kim for The Washington Postmeasures at airports in the past 12 months, the agency told The Washington Post, revealing a vulnerability in air travel that has been reflected in several incidents.
TSA declined to share documents that show annual breach statistics or detail individual incidents due to the sensitive nature of information about law enforcement.post-security terminals so they can get to pre-security areas like baggage claim and passenger pickup zones.Another 80 people evaded the travel document checker, or TDC podium, where TSA agents review travelers’ IDs and boarding passes. Langston said that amounts to about one person in 10 million.
Carter noted a rise in breach cases in Newark before TSA acknowledged a wider trend. He isn’t sure why more people are sneaking through security but said a “change in behavior” among travelers in the aftermath of the pandemic may be a contributing factor. In cases when TSA loses track of a trespasser, or didn’t know about the breach right away, they have to shut down airport operations and evacuate the terminal for screening.
The company has since upgraded its screening process; instead of confirming identity using a customer’s iris and fingerprints, Clear will now use technology that screens the entire face. All Clear members are required to update to the new system. In New Jersey, Carter said these new plastic barriers have “been very effective in helping us prevent any access control events or attempted breach past the TDC.” He said they’ve added even more of barriers to other terminals in the past six months.bring down breach numbers. But Langston said there is no clear plan on how many to add or when, because every airport is different.
