Airport security breach caught on camera

Posted

ATLANTA (WSB) - A passenger at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport says he caught a blatant security breach on his cell phone camera. The passenger with an iPhone was in the cell phone waiting lot when he recorded a woman tossing a bag over a fence to an airport worker.

The bag gets stuck and the worker climbs up to get it, all this unfolding just feet from the runway. One air safety expert wonders what's in the bag but says that's not the biggest concern.

"It's obvious that they're not concerned that security is going to be on top of them," Air safety expert Brent Brown says.

He also says it tells him this isn't the first time this has happened.

The worker was standing next to a Delta Air Lines luggage truck so Delta and airport officials say they are investigating the security breach.

A TSA spokesman says airport perimeter security is not their responsibility, but they are helping with the investigation.
