LOS ANGELES (AP) - Three men used a bogus limousine pass to breach tight Oscar security and get right up to the red carpet, KCBS-TV reported.
The men, who run a Los Angeles area cable-access show, videotaped themselves getting waved through security checkpoints by smiling officers.
KCBS aired some of the footage. The men said they got through three checkpoints with no difficulties. The men - two photographers identified as Frank Cromer and Scoobie Davis and a limo driver identified as Travis - used a limousine pass they said was made on a copy machine by an obliging limo driver they met at a copy shop.
