FBI Won't Charge Airport Checkpoint Evader
The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The FBI will not pursue criminal charges against a
man who walked through the exit side of the Albuquerque airport security
checkpoint Sunday, causing 1,800 people to be delayed on takeoff.
The man made his flight and took off before the FBI could question him.
He flew to Salt Lake City, was interviewed by FBI agents there, and
released after his arrival in Utah.
It was not immediately clear how he managed to enter the terminal on the
exit side and how he made it onto a flight that then was allowed to take
off.
The Transportation Security Administration in Albuquerque is still
investigating whether to pursue civil penalties, said agency spokeswoman
Maggie Santiago.
