Security breach? Any word?

Just got a text from a friend on an AA flight to SEA today that the AA terminal is being evacuated due to a security breach. Even those already on planes will have to be re-screened. She was already on the flight with the doors closed when they got the word. Hope it's not a repeat of EWR. Will try to post more info when I get an update.

Terminal evacuated, everyone being rescreened. No flights in or out.

Allegedly someone went through an employee entrance.

Passengers being allowed back into JFK's Terminal 8 after man seen using employee-only door prompted evacuation - AP

PAPD Radio stated male breached two employee doors and was seen leaving on video minutes later.

Lets see where the finger pointing goes...

This is the guy. Is that Wyclef? I'm not really kidding.

LOL, I saw your Tweet. It could be Wyclef, he was returning from Haiti

There are going to be a bunch of Civil Penalties on this one.

Can some one who knows about JFK explain what employee door this is ?

I think I recall reading in the AA forum on Flyertalk that this is an employee door from the club. Is the club pre-security?

There are two Admirals Clubs at JFK and both are post-security. I've used both numerous times and the exits are clearly marked.

The guy is not Wyclef but another Haitian and has been arrested. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583197,00.html
