2 security breaches in 10 days raise alarm at O'Hare International Airport
Two security breaches at O'Hare International Airport have raised serious questions about runway safety. In May, a DoorDash driver entered the restricted area at O'Hare and ended up just a few feet away from a United Airlines plane on the tarmac. Now, the Chicago Department of Aviation has confirmed that another incident took place within 10 days of the first — and a second investigation is now under way. On May 27, sources said a Chicago Department of Aviation security officer was assigned to a perimeter checkpoint at O'Hare with direct airfield access — and allowed dozens of drivers to enter without swiping their ID to make sure they had a valid credential. "If you're coming through a secure checkpoint that's leading to a secure area, each vehicle needs to be inspected, drivers need to be identified — and they have to be allowed through based on their secure access," said former Thomas Herion. Herion, now the chief of police in west suburban Lyons, was an assistant commissioner at the Chicago Department of Aviation Security Division for nearly a decade — from 2009 to 2019. "If you're not stopping those vehicles, and those vehicles are allowed to access without any type of screening, you have no idea who is in the vehicle, and you have no idea what's in the vehicle," Herion said. Sources said more than 50 cars went through the checkpoint without any of the occupants swiping their O'Hare ID for entry on May 27, and it was all caught on camera. Herion said hiring requirements for Chicago Department of Aviation security officers has changed over the years. In the past, officers were trained in a police academy environment, but now, the requirement is a GED with internal training. "I'm sure there's a lot of good personnel that they hired. But when you have to meet a certain threshold — when you have to get through the state, get through the Chicago Police Academy and pass the state exam — there's a lot of different things you need to do physically, mentally, and personally, and right now, they're not doing that," Heroin said, "and when you're protecting direct access to the airfield, that concerns me a lot." The Chicago Department of Aviation issued a statement saying: "The CDA is aware of the May 27 incident involving a CDA security officer and has referred the matter to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for investigation." It was 10 days earlier on May 17 when a food delivery driver went through a different checkpoint and ended up in a secure area on the airfield. In a statement on that incident, the Department of Aviation said: "Following the May 17 incident, CDA leadership met with contractor Lincoln Security to review the situation and also referred the matter to TSA. The employee involved is no longer employed by Lincoln Security, and their airport credentials have been terminated by the CDA." Sources said after that first incident, everyone controlling checkpoints was put on notice. Still, that second security breach happened 10 days later. Herion said the TSA could fine the city as much as $10,000 per incident, so that could amount to $500,000. A TSA spokesperson said that agency has regulatory oversight, and can also levy civil penalties in these incidents. As to the security officer who let the vehicles through the checkpoint, the Department of Aviation referred questions to the TSA about whether the security officer was disciplined. The TSA in turn would only say the investigation is ongoing.

Moment man sprints across taxiway near where planes land at Heathrow Airport
A man was filmed running across the tarmac at an airport near where planes were landing in what appeared to be a shocking security breach at one of the world's busiest transport hubs. The fugitive was spotted being pursued by four men across the taxiway near Terminal 2 at Heathrow Airport in West London, UK. He was chased for around a minute before he was eventually stopped. After managing to evade airport staff on foot, a van appeared and two men jumped out to capture the man. He was escorted away from the planes by the two men. Plane bizarre: A man was chased by staff across the taxiway at Heathrow Airport in London The chase was captured on video by a member of the public who shared the footage on social media. The police were later seen arriving. The man was pinned to the ground and was arrested. During the video, the narrator becomes increasingly frustrated by the bizarre situation unfolding in front of him. The narrator said: 'What is going on here? Why would there be people running? That geezer is running from someone, they are chasing him. 'What is going on? Isn't there anyone fit enough to take him down.' Becoming more frustrated by witnessing the man at large on the busy runway, he said: 'They are going to have to stop the operations, they are going to have to stop aircraft moving, he is running straight towards them.' After the man was captured, the narrator adeed: 'What the hell was that all about? They are stopping aircraft taxiing as well. 'If that was America there would be 50 vehicles there by now, 700 police. One bloke.' A Heathrow spokesperson told The Sun: 'Working with partners, we have quickly resolved an incident at the airport involving an individual who accessed the airfield taxiway. 'The individual has been removed from the airport.
