Haisong Jiang, 28, of Piscataway, believed to have caused a security breach that resulted in major delays last weekend at Newark Liberty Airport was arrested Friday night at his home. He was being held late Friday night at the airport by Port Authority police, who arrested him. The Port Authority said in a statement that Jiang is being charged with trespass in slipping under a security ribbon inside Terminal C to kiss his girl friend, and that the charge was determined in coordination with Essex County prosecutors and federal officials.
The breach led the TSA to shut down one of Newark Liberty International's three terminals for six hours Sunday, stranding thousands of passengers and contributing to long delays. (Source: Samantha Henry and David Porter, Huffington Post, Jan 11, 2010).
