He did not have escort, he snuck through the exit gate across the street from the Air Wing. He then walked damn near a mile to where I told the crew to park. He was in full view of the cameras and no one saw a thing. Maintenance went to move the plane and bring it to the gate for a 0600 departure. Thats when he was discovered. There is plenty blame to go around here. Yet only the guards are taking the heat. Not those who acknowledged seeing him on the cameras, nor was he challenged or spotted by the police. It was a colossal screw up, that no one will admit.
No escort because he was homeless, and he just walked onto the aircraft to sleep. No one brought him there, he was there quite illegally.
If my memory serves me right that is/was vehicle gate 6S.
Which security comapny is doing the “job” at the outside check points?
When I was there in the early 90’s we were a real hard charging bunch, but only 3 of us were allowed to carry “cuffs” for such a thing. I even had the FAA security guys afraid of me, after I pulled one out of his car after showing me 2 different id’s with different pictures on them. And I did the cuff & stuff on him till the Airport PD Security guys showed up and rescued him from me... lol Was the gate even maned at the time? More to ask when I get some more questions...
