Two people caught trespassing at Newark Liberty International Airport last week had entered the secure zone alongside the airfield by lifting a chain-link fence and wiggling under it, authorities acknowledged yesterday. When the two, described as a homeless man and woman wanted for parole violations in Georgia, were discovered on Thursday morning, they told police they had been there since Tuesday night, sheltering under a roadway overpass within a few hundred feet of parked aircraft near Terminal C. Initially, officials reported that the pair had tried to walk through a construction zone off-limits to the public. Yesterday, after being contacted by The Star-Ledger about conflicting information, an agency spokesman confirmed the two sneaked under the fence into the secure area.
"We don't simply rely on a fence to protect the perimeter of the airport," La Vorgna said. He said the nearest gates are about a quarter-mile from where the intruders were found. Yesterday, at least one plane was seen parked by the edge of the airfield just beyond the vegetation lining the drainage ditch. In November, Port Authority officials admitted they failed to secure the perimeter of the airport after a drunken driver drove past a checkpoint with no barrier and onto a secure airfield perimeter road. statement. La Vorgna identified the homeless pair as Shawn Morris and Julie Christiansen. They were apprehended after they emerged from under the overpass near the P4 parking garage and AirTrain Newark, with the woman complaining of a broken foot, he said. Morris told police the two had slipped under the fence Tuesday night, but La Vorgna questioned that, saying that the pair appeared disoriented and that authorities found no evidence they had been sleeping beneath the roadway for two nights.

If they're parole violators they aren't ex cons, they're cons.
"entered the secure zone alongside the airfield by lifting a chain-link fence and wiggling under it, authorities acknowledged yesterday."
I thought only the Special Forces were trained in that technique.
I think muslim-islamic-arab terrorists also get that training in the Paki camps...
Did they look like this?
LOL..my Brother said all the TV stations are talking about it..the officials are blabbering. They were living uder a tunnel/bridge.
I will be at Newark Sat...if I see those two I will say hello! Cant wait to clean out my purse of liquids, gels etc. My Brother flew back to Newark from here, Jax, last week. He said they didnt check carryon bags at teh gate...they said "well if security already checked..". Hey so maybe I can buy a bottle of water to take on huh?
Yes I travel thru there alot and hate it!
Don't forget about the lipstick, perfume, pens, etc.
Yes those too....and my liquid soap. Gosh it will be so light!
"I think muslim-islamic-arab terrorists also get that training in the Paki camps..."
We don't stand a chance against this level of sophistication.
There's not much defense against, "lift and wiggle", is there?
We use these also!
LOL
We need layers of defense, maybe JOE6PAKS caution cones, sternly worded signs, and annual govt. inspection to make sure the chain link fences are "lift and wiggle" proof.
This would give us triple layers of security against foreign trained terrorist commandos.
LOL! We're home free then, a!
Airport security may just have taken rise WHEN I don't have to take my shoes off anymore..
