Remember when that guy shut down a terminal at Newark Airport after entering a secure area unauthorized... and then caused thousands upon thousands to be trapped there with delayed flights? Would it make you feel better if it all happened in the name of love?
Today the NY Post reports that the video shows that the Transportation Security Administration agent first stopped the man from entering, after he passionately embraced a woman and tried to follow her to the secure area, where she would be boarding a flight. But when the same guard was talking on a cellphone, "the trespasser" took a chance and ended up successfully strolling right through.
Now investigators have narrowed down which flights the mystery woman could have been on, and hope to question her. Are terrorists going to start watching romcoms now?
