a Transportation Security Administration spokesperson would only say, “TSA is reviewing the incident and working with the Chicago Police Department on the investigation.”
And taking time to come up with the proper CYA statement
“There’s been a surprising lack of communication as to what occurred,” said DePaul University transportation expert Joseph Schwieterman.
He said the TSA’s refusal to at least confirm if Jackson went through the checkpoint is unacceptable.
“It’s been enough hours now that details should be out there,” Schwieterman said. “I mean, people have a right to know why something this … simple occurred in a high security situation.”
The TSA needs more than 8 hours to circle the wagons

If he did go thru the checkpoint without a bp and appropriate I/D, that is a problem in its own right but if he didn't, I for one would like to know how he got into the
insecure area
