Newark "Trespasser" Found, Charged

The Daily News fails to report how exactly, the grainy guy from the security camera was fingered and arrested.

He's got to be the first person ever marched in front of TV cameras for a misdemeanor trespassing charge. What a bunch of crap. More Kabuki-Theatre security!

Tell that to the families of the passengers on UA Flight 93 that departed Newark Airport on 9/11. I doubt they share your attitude regarding breaches of airport security.

It's important to point out that prior to the actual breach, the same TSA guard gave Jiang a warning to stay out of the secure area with which Jiang complied. However, Jiang later sneaked back under the rope when he noticed that the guard wasn't watching. HE WAS PREVIOUSLY ORDERED BY THE TSA GUARD TO STAY OUT OF THE SECURE AREA, BUT JIANG CHOOSE TO ARROGANTLY DEFY THE ORDER AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY.

So, yeah, he's a dismissive moron who deserves a stiff fine and jail time for all the trouble he caused.

Considering where he came from, you would think he'd know better. In China, they would have hauled him off and he'd never be seen or heard from again. But he's probably gotten used to the much greater freedom afforded in this country after having been here for five years.

Well, Jiang obviously thought he could away with it (even though the TSA guard had warned him).

But I have to add that the TSA was practically criminally negligent in their vigilance. The TSA really had no clue that their cameras weren't working? What a slipshod operation!

Fuck this guy. He's not some kid. He's 28 years old. Anyone with half a brain would know that doing what he did would be a very big deal. It was selfish and thousands of people suffered because he wanted an extra 20 minutes with his girlfriend. I hope they make an example of him.

On the bright side, I doubt he's going to get any kind of job in LA as he planned. Any company big enough to need a molecular bioscience major will have a real human resources department, and they'll run a full background check on his name. Even before that, just Googling "Haisong Jiang" will raise red flags. Nobody will want to hire someone who has proven that he can't follow security protocols.

well put.

Of course the girl has to dump him since he's unlucky and unsuccessful.

"a molecular bioscientist-in-training"

Is that like a guy that works for an exterminating company but is not allowed near the chemicals until he joins the union?

The guy is a dumbass, and new pussy will make you do that. He should get a fine. Now the TSA will cover the agent's ass and claim he was called away from his post, but it is clearly their fault for allowing the checkpoint to be um-manned and open to breach.

We're getting very good at pinpointing the fuckups and saying they will be fixed, until the next oversight results in 300 bodies strewn across a cornfield amongst the burning remnants of a jet.

Profiling and a safe flier program will cut down the whole mess.

"He didn't think it's a big deal, so he didn't mention it."

Yeah, that must be why he said, "You got me," when the cops showed up. If it's not a big deal, go ahead and turn yourself in. Only somebody who hopes they'll never find him will stay home knowing he has caused serious inconvenience and untold financial problems for thousands. How many people missed appointments or had vacations shortened because he was horny?

Whatever, I'm on this guy's side. He just cut in line to see his girlfriend! The guards are the morons who should be blamed; it isn't like this guy was masterminding some malicious entry. Heck, I've ducked under ropes in my day.

Seriously. Hope they don't throw the book at him.

In light of the timely apprehension of this person, I wonder how many unsolved homicides, rapes, burglaries, auto thefts, and other felonious misdeeds there are for the city of Newark...

and make this as the day that romance and love died.

Thanks al qaeda

Just wait for the Movie!

Already, it reads like a Romantic Comedy...

"Defiant trespass"? I understand that he was a moron for doing what he did but that's the charge?

'... Let's not forget the TSA also took 80 minutes to call the breach in. ...'

"a molecular bioscientist-in-training"

More proof that there are distinct types of intelligence. And proficiency in one type does not necessarily translate to proficiency in others.

Yep, common sense is clearly lacking...

He'll get a fine, but the guard is screwed. Unless his supervisor called him away or he got approval to leave his post, what defense does he have?

''With this arrest, law enforcement will be able to take a closer look into how and why this incident occurred and make sure that it never happens again."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure these things out. It happened because he liked his girl and saw "security" procedures similar to what's used to keep people in line when waiting to by a ticket at the movies.

And if we want to make sure it never happens again either:

Put up a real wall or something hard to pass through. And arrange the airport so a breach can be contained to a small area and doesn't paralyze the whole place.

Duh!!!!!!!

Are you likening jumping a security rope at Newark to jumping a line at the movies? Are you serious? Since when did the terrorists start issuing threats against the Cineplex?

I vote for the HEET turnstiles found in subway stations. That would also cut down on oversize carry-ons.

Ssshhhh, hush now with your logic! There can be no logic in this security theater!

lol!

*Minor* dumbassness compared to the "security procedures" in place when this happens. The problem is the ridiculous response to these sorts of problems. If someone walking into the wrong part of an airport is so critical, then have an actual wall there, not a ribbon or tape.

Now we know, if you want to set off a bomb with the maximum number of people in an airport, walk through a tape so they force everyone back for re-screening, then set the bomb off. Dopey dopey security theatre, with this guy as the scapegoat.

This guy should get a ticket - say $200 or so.

Still, this poor idiot will bear the brunt of this security f*k-up when it was the TSA and the security clowns who are responsible. And of course, every scumbag politician will now jump before the cameras to get attention.

Its totally obvious that there was no threat here from this man. Let him go instead of dragging this out and then figure out how this shouldnt happen again.

We know that he's very excited to have a real woman.

As opposed to ... ?

The blow up doll he usually introduces as his "main squeeze".

His hand, I'm sure.

Ah, young hormone-charged love!

But he has a real woman!

How long before those two have a reality show?

Let me be the first one to say: What a fucking dumbass.
