US says threat against airlines remains high
More than six years after the attacks which killed nearly 3,000 people, "there continues to be a focus on air travel as a target," he said, adding the threat level was unlikely to be changed in the near future.
Chertoff, who warned last week that one of the biggest threats to U.S. security could come from Europe, said European counter-terrorism authorities acknowledge their countries "are both a target and a platform" for militants.
5 linked to illegal entry scam
Five Indonesians working at the Japanese Embassy in Jakarta, an immigration office, an airline and an airport had links to an illegal immigration scam uncovered at Narita Airport in September last year, according to the Chiba prefectural police and the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau.
Two of them, a 50-year-old female receptionist at the embassy and a 39-year-old male cabin attendant of Garuda Indonesia Airline, have been arrested and indicted on suspicion of helping large-scale illegal entry into the nation in violation of the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Law.
Airline passengers react to shoeshine security breach
Around noon Friday, officials evacuated about 400 fliers from the Boise Airport terminal, some even had to deplane. According to TSA, it all happened because 38-year-old Jesse Flores, of California, re-entered the terminal through the clearly marked exit lane. Security agents never saw him. It was a passenger that reported the breech.
Officials say Flores came off a flight, went to the car rental, but went back for a shoeshine. TSA and Boise police reviewed surveilance video, and tracked Flores down after he had left the airport. Police cited him with a misdemeanor. TSA says he could still face a federal fine of up to $10,000.
