Security Breach Delays Dozens of Miami Flights
From Times Wire Reports
Aviation officials evacuated five concourses at Miami International Airport after two passengers bypassed a security checkpoint, delaying about 40 flights for two or three hours.
About 11:40 a.m., the two passengers slipped in through an exit, bypassing metal detectors and luggage X-ray screening, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Transportation Security Administration said.
Security workers could not catch the two, so hundreds of passengers in five concourses were ordered to leave and go through screening again.
