Peter King is looking into the issues with international flights being held on tarmacs for hours and hours in the NYC area during the recent snow storm. The first person he asked for an explanation was Big Sis. Of course, she said that the delays in processing incoming passengers was not the fault of DHS/CBP, but in the interview I heard, he was not buying that totally, which I see as encouraging.
Going to Secretary Napolitano over tarmac delays when it's weather-related is like talking to the guy at Pizza Hut about warts.

I've seen interview after interview with their spokesperson and his story changes by the hour.
Port Authority is going to have a mess on its hands over this. It will be part and parcel of the entire city's failure to handle the blizzard.

Part of this will go to the saying "the cover-up is worse than the crime."

Don't see how Napolitano can be faulted in regards to the Port Authority's handling of ground operations.
