Security at Logan being questioned
"Security at Logan International Airport is in the spotlight after a passenger sounded an alarm, saying airport staff and other passengers failed to follow a simple but important rule recently."

gotta love this part as i think she sorta kinda maybe in a left handed behind the back kinda way um, did just that. morons at massport 
Massport said it was only just recently notified of the issue and reminds everyone to be aware of their surroundings. Unattended bags should always be reported.

Good For Her
She did the right thing. If TSA or the LE responsible for the airport will not do anything about it, then report it to the news media. She actually did it one better by writing to gov't officials. Not that they would actually do anything about it but she probably will have a hard copy of her letter and any gov't response to it to show the news media if she needs to.

No, certainly not. This is mean Behaviors Detection Officers are lookout any suspicious activities at the terminals. If you noticing someone who left behind the bags is unattended. It will cause to get security breach and it will be force to be evacuated off the terminals.

According to the video, they'll send 'em to investigate. And knowing Massport... they'll promptly do nothing. They don't do anything unless they can make a buck off of it.
Because here's something else Terminal A... especially now that I've started my new shift. There's unbelievable sun glare because of those nice big windows in the center of the buliding that blinds both of us and passengers and Massport's never put tinting or polarized glass up.
They come one day to test out the tinting and were positioning it around on the roof and then guess what.... it was never put up.

This bag was obviously not a threat as it did not display the international symbol of a terrorist IED.
