NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A private security guard at Newark airport in New Jersey has been arrested on charges of threatening President Barack Obama.

Obama is scheduled to land at Newark Liberty International Airport around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. He is campaigning for Gov. Jon Corzine.

Port Authority spokesman John Kelly says 55-year-old John Breck allowed police to search his Linden home. He says officers found 43 firearms.

U.S. Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley says Breck denied making any threats.

what's wrong with 43 firearms? i'm a little jealous actually.... and what was the threat he made?

[diegodangers]

No one said anything was wrong with 43 firearms....yet. AP is known to have a liberal bias.

This article does speak of how they found some of the guns to be purchased legally, though they didn't say if any were purchased illegally, and with that I see a problem.

Turns out, this guy and I have had our run ins, nothing major, but a few of us affectionately called him Robo-cop. Pretty sad really, I'ma miss his ball busting.
