Working With Law Enforcement, Lautenberg Releases Video of Newark Airport Security Breach

Thursday, January 7, 2010 NEWARK, NJ – After calling for the release of surveillance footage of the January 3 security breach at Newark Liberty Airport in meetings with top security officials at the Transportation Security Administration, the Port Authority and Continental Airlines, Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) today released video footage of the security breach. The video, approved for release by the TSA, is not considered Sensitive Security Information and law enforcement officials have determined that it will be useful in helping to advance the ongoing investigation. The release of this video will give law enforcement another tool to help find the person who breached the security gate at Newark Liberty Airport, stated Lautenberg. I encourage this individual or anyone with knowledge of his identity to immediately contact law enforcement. It is unacceptable that the Port Authority took so long to produce this tape, but now that it is public we have a better chance of getting to the bottom of this major security incident.
