An employee at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport was fired after a security mishap. The employee in question lost a set of master keys for O’Hare International Airport’s secure access facilities. In light of this, the employee was relieved from their duties.
According to their investigation, the missing keys unlock perimeter fences and key entry points. Overall, the keys could open around 100 perimeter gates, 150 other gates, and an “unknown amount” of doors, elevators, and washrooms. In terms of airport security, these are some of the first-line defenses against unwanted intrusions and potential malicious acts.
Due to the severity of the incident, the employee in question was terminated. Notably, this is not common practice at the Chicago Department of Aviation. Employees are generally safe from extreme disciplinary action, such as termination.

“...relieved of THEIR duties.”
The gender neutral loophole. It was probably a female.
Everyone makes mistakes, both men, women and ‘other’.
A lot of Amish are named Yoder...
Do you think they’ll even bother?
Gee, in Chicago you’d think he’d be promoted.
“His first day on the job, he completed too much work too soon; they told him to go watch the airplanes land! “
Makes sense for union-run $hitcago! We can’t have people actually working, because it makes it harder to bring on more slackers to pad the payroll.
This may present an opportunity to do just that!
Gender bias was removed.
i am skeptical the keys were simply lost.....Happened in April? Sold.

What security if this happens?
What worries me is that one person could cause such chaos. There should be enough granularity of access privileges that if any one person becomes a problem, for whatever reason, things can be resolved quickly and securely.
It doesn’t appear to be the case here.
I guess they finally got rid of the last white guy. I wonder which thug stole his keys.
First off, if an airport is concerned enough about security that they must have locked doors and gates, there should never be a master key. Obviously, they aren’t concerned since there are master keys floating around.
O’Hare will hire the lowest bidder and it’ll be their ex-employee’s brother, Achmed.
“Well, there’s a huge task, to re-key everything at O’Hare,”
It will be union work. Only certain people will be allowed to turn the screws clockwise, with a second crew to turn them counterclockwise. The process will take years and cost $millions.
“My guess is that the writer of the article is a twenty-something, who wants to prove that he or she is with it on the gender identity stuff.”
I saw it as more of an effort to avoid ANY possible identification of the person responsible. Based on that, I’m thinking Somalian muslim female.

I often see 'construction' gates with a guard resting nearby, guessing? They padlock them during off hours and are a temporary workaround?
That said, with 12 sq miles, probably MANY access points with padlocks.
