This ABC15 Investigation is getting national attention. ABC15’s Lisa Fletcher will be on Good Morning America Monday at 7 a.m.
It’s what you have to do when you fly – use X-ray machines, metal detectors, and deal with liquid restrictions in your carry-on luggage. You know the drill.
Security checkpoints are just part of travel these days. They’re supposed to keep us safe, so we use them – but not all of us and not all the time.
We’ve discovered a 4.5 hour time frame each night when virtually anything can be brought into the secure side of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. There’s no metal detector, no X-ray machine, and it’s apparently not a problem.
Afraid to show her face, one long time Sky Harbor employee talks about the security most people don’t see.
Lisa Fletcher: “You’re telling me Sky Harbor’s not safe?”
Employee: “I’m telling you Sky Harbor’s not safe and hasn’t been for a long time.”
You people are not very intelligent. I understand you have nothing better to do as news media in Az. Telling these crazy people in the public what time to go to the airport to do something horrible is something you should not do. That’s like going to a nuc. power plant and saying all a terrorist has to do is stick something right here and decimate this part of the U.S. Why don’t you people show some responsibility and report this to the authorities. Don’t tell the entire public ( good and bad ) exactly how to do something horrible. This is totally ignorant and if something does happen now, I blame you. Period! How pathetic… Reporting a weakness in our armor instead of quietly repairing it. Irresponsible reporting. Bottom line.
