JFK allowed passengers arriving on international flight to exit without going through Customs
New York Daily News ^ | 01/23/16 | Victoria Bekiempis, Denis Slattery

Passengers arriving at Kennedy Airport on an international flight were allowed to exit the busy hub without going through Customs -- for at least the second time in recent months, the Daily News has learned.

Bumbling airline and security officials let travelers on American Airlines Flight 1223 from Cancun, Mexico, out of the airport on Monday morning without having their passports or bags checked, sources told The News.

The security lapse mirrored a similar incident involving another American Airlines flight in November.

A 34-year-old man who had been in Cancun to attend three Phish concerts told The News he was able to glide from the plane to the baggage claim area without having to endure the usual maze of Customs and Border Protection security checks.

EXCLUSIVE: 150 ON FLIGHT FROM MEXICO ALLOWED TO SKIP CUSTOMS, LEAVE JFK

"It's absolutely absurd," the business adviser said. "To think that anyone could be walking off of that plane and just get right into the city. It could be terrorists, El Chapo's henchmen, anyone."

The jam band fan said he even approached a Transportation Security Administration agent near the exit, but was told he was free to go.

Sounds like REVERSE profiling. We know they are of an undesirable, un-American mindset and ethos, so let’s sneak them in, with no record of their arrival. That way, when the SHTF as they carry out their clandestine mission(s) the Obunga Admin’s fingerprints will not be obvious.

Those people were admitted without screening because that’s what the order from the WH via DHS said should be done. Try sneaking a load of CHRISTIAN refugees in and see how far you get!

As long as the 84 yr. old grandma in the wheelchair was frisked it’s all good.

Perhaps some were carrying bomb components that were too delicate to risk traveling across the border and needed to ‘expressed carried’ here. I put nothing past these America-hating marxists that pass for politicians these days. :/

Someone greenlighted a drug mule.

Seriously, how does this even happen 14 years after 9/11?

But just try getting more than 1.5 oz. of shampoo on board a plane and they will catch you every time.

Yes indeed. This would have been hard to believe 10 years ago, but today it is just another day in America. I am not even sure America can wake up anymore no matter who our next President is.

Anyone who has just seen three Phish concerts has suffered enough. No need to force them through Customs.

When I first saw the title I thought it was accusing president Kennedy of doing something in the 60’s in order to justify what is happening today.

Coming from Mexico? Sounds like the narcos got to someone at JFK to avoid a suitcase search.

Perhaps someone was paid off to let the drug mules among the passengers get through.
