Security Breach-->AAHHHH!!!!
Educate me. Why is it absoutely necessary to shut down the WHOLE terminal just because of a security breach? Are there any terrorists ? drunk person? retarded people? What are the benefits for shut down due to security breach? I personally think it is beyond ridiculous to shut down the terminal just because the TSA employee(s) forgot to screen a passenger(s) or see someone going the wrong way when exiting the sterile area??? FTW? Whose idea was to shut down the terminal if there's a security breach? Was it our former president George W. Bush's idea?

When in trouble, when in doubt
Run in circles, scream and shout.
I seriously doubt it was GWB who wrote TSA's SOP. It probably was written with little thought to the repercussions of dumping a terminal, mid winter, limited access, etc. Like much of what TSA does, at first glance it looked good on paper.

My God. Can we stop blaming Bush for EVERYTHING?? He was a putz, for sure. But this comment is silly. Obama's been in office for almost a year now. If any president is responsible for this decision, it's Obama. But I don't think Obama is to be blamed either. No president oversees every detail of governement policy.

The more they do this kind of stunt, the more they look like buffoons. It does not go unnoticed.
Or as a local radio station put it recently in a poll: "What will it take for you to feel secure?". Note that it's not "be secure", it's "feel secure".
