SNIPPET: "According to police, three baggage handlers were loading luggage on to a flight bound for Bermuda around 10:56 a.m. when two of the handlers noticed a third was not wearing an identification badge.
When questioned about it, the third man took off and has yet to be found by police."
SNIPPET: "Investigating agencies include the Philadelphia Police, the F.B.I. and Homeland Security."

Thanks!
....................By late Thursday, the person had not been identified or located, Klaver said.................................
You can’t pass a red light without a camera looking at you and your plates, but airports have no security cameras???
.............Officials believe he was authorized to be in that section of the airport, but not at that particular place.....................
Total BS! If they can’t identify him, how do they believe that he was authorized to be in the area? And, if he was, why hasn’t he come forward to dispel all the fear, and try to retain his job???
I understand what you are saying and I will post updates as they become available.

“Security breach delays plane at Philadelphia International Airport”
By Sam Wood
Inquirer Staff Writer
SNIPPET: “Passengers aboard a US Airways flight to Bermuda were delayed for more than six hours at Philadelphia International Airport on Thursday when the baggage crew assigned to load the flight found an unidentified worker already at the plane and unwilling to identify himself, according to the FBI.
When the three-man crew assigned to Flight 1070 found the fourth man, whom they did not recognize, and asked him why he was there, he clambered onto a motorized baggage cart and drove away.”
SNIPPET: “A US Airways spokesman said the delay was “due to a security concern” and federal authorities were working with the airline to identify the mysterious baggage handler. The Associated Press reported Thursday night the FBI released a statement saying that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was taking over as lead investigative agency in the probe. The FBI could not be reached for further comment.”
OFF THREAD TOPIC, but interesting.

TSA Week At A Glance: 09/27/10 Thru 10/03/10
3 artfully concealed prohibited items found at checkpoints
22 firearms found at checkpoints
9 passengers were arrested after investigations of suspicious behavior or fraudulent travel documents
Cargo for a flight to Bermuda?
Maybe some rich liberal official’s cash stash to bypass the tax man?
