Sorry Mom, but you are mostly wrong.
This moron was already at the gate and had passed thru security like anyone else. He then decided to go back to the terminal, so he left the gate area (a secured area), went down the escalator, re-boarded the train, went back to the terminal (a non-secure area)to get his camera, THEN, instead of passing thru security again to get back to the gates, which EVERYONE MUST DO (don't you all want that?), he proceeded back to where the escalators come up from the train, RAN DOWN THE UP ESCALATORS, boarded the train, and went back to his gate.
He totally bypassed security to get to the gate. He went from a NON-SECURE area to a SECURE AREA...WITHOUT GOING THRU SECURITY!
When he or anyone else does that, especially with boarding pass already in hand, he could have carried any weapon or bomb directly onto his flight without any chance of being caught, unless everybody was re-inspected as they boarded their flights. That would have been ludicrous if not impossible.
This guy should get whatever maximum sentence is available. Anybody on here who believes otherwise makes a sham of having any security at all.
I just can't believe that people are so willing to let this guy off the hook. Maybe if you or your family were there, you would all feel differently.
And BTW Mom, I am a better source than your 'good' source. Sorry, I don't like to disagree with anyone named Mom!
Don't know how you can know that when you don't know my source. Do you work for Delta, are you in operations at the airport? My source is yes on both counts.
We can agree to disagree on this one..
