Thursday's opening of a new Terminal A at Newark airport had two issues, a blackout and a TSA checkpoint security breach, officials said.
Thursday morning hit some speed bumps when a security check point was “breached” bu two unscreened passengers and an early morning blackout left the new building without power, Port Authority officials said.
The problems included “a couple of security breaches on some folks who wanted to bypass the check-in, which caused a little bit of a slowdown,” said Kevin O’Toole, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey board chairman. “We had a power outage that caused a significant delay. We had 2 security breaches where everything had to be shut down.”
