Washington Times reports:
Delta passengers at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport were able to bypass immigration and customs after their flight from London dropped them off at the wrong terminal.
The passengers aboard Delta Flight 3 from Heathrow wound up at Terminal 4 near a domestic baggage claim around 8:30 p.m. Monday, CBS News reported.
CBS was alerted to the news by a passenger on the flight, Andrew Rostron, whose wife is a network employee.
“I could have just left the airport and kept going, no question about it,” Mr. Rostron said. “I was practically out the front door of the airport, but realized I have to go get my bag.
“If you didn’t have checked luggage, you could have just left, got in a cab and been gone. They had no idea,” he said.
Delta Airlines told CBS News it is aware that “a small number of customers off Delta flight 3 from London to New York’s Kennedy International Airport were able to bypass customs screening. Delta is working with the Port Authority as well as Customs and Border Protection and is looking into the matter. Customer security is of vital importance and Delta makes every effort to follow appropriate procedures.”

And this despite our whole alphabet of government agencies DHS ICE TSA NSA CIA FBI ETC. They got through without any schemes and plotting or planning to outsmart the system.No loophole. Just plain incompetence of a government asleep at the wheel .This shows us how safe a bloated beaurecratic (or any) government is .
1. I wouldn’t be so quick to blame some govt letter agency because the pilot provides the tower with his arrival gate and he bviously gave the wrong one.
“the pilot provides the tower with his arrival gate and he bviously gave the wrong one.”
I agree with Mark Levin.
Mashiach is coming.
