Seven members of a cable television crew have been arrested after they tried to sneak a fake explosive device through a security checkpoint at Newark Liberty International Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said Thursday.

A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation said that the team was filming for cable network CNBC, which is based in Englewood Cliffs. The TSA did not release the names of the people they said were arrested, and the Port Authority only said that it was investigating the incident.

The law enforcement source said the crew likely would be charged by the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office with creating a false public alarm, conspiracy and interference with transportation, but that Essex County would make that determination.

I always presumed that it was illegal to smuggle an explosive device onto an airplane but why would a ‘fake’ explosive device be an issue?

[bankwalker]

Several years before I killed my TV I watched CNBC every day. At that time they were a bunch of left wing kooks, except for a guy named Joe Kernan or something like that. The guy named Steve Leesman was the worst.

How does anyone know its a fake?

That’s why they have to be outlawed, Achmed could still do a hijacking with a fake device.
