A New York congressman called for an extensive security review at Newark Liberty Airport after a newspaper reported Friday that a simulated explosive got past screeners.
Rep. Peter King’s letter to Transportation Security Administration Administrator John Pistole followed a report in the New York Post. The newspaper said an undercover TSA inspector brought a mock improvised explosive device stashed in his pants through two layers of security last month. One of the security checks that failed to catch the mock device was a pat-down.
