TSA has nothing to do with the Perimeter Intrusion Detection System. This is on PANYNJ and Raytheon, the vendor which is responsible for it. The PIDS has never actually worked, from what I understand.

TSA approves the airports security plan. The plan failed, TSA failed.

He went for a long swim, got out of the water and found a secure fence.
He chose to climb it rather than follow it. Why??

It really isn't that hard to figure out. He could see people, activity and knew there were emergency personnel very close by. If he goes however far east or west, he had no idea how far, he's still unsure of what kind of help he will find.

They wouldn't have arrested him at all. Walking around would probably be another 4 miles. I'd do the same thing, except I would have drowned by then.
