Doh! A deer gets into O'Hare
(While you are getting felt-up by the TSA, ask how this can happen.)
A young buck trotted into an O'Hare Airport terminal Tuesday morning, avoiding security by tripping automatic doors typically used for deliveries.
(snip)
"It was confused and bewildered and tried to find shelter," aviation department spokeswoman Annette Martinez said. "This was not a security problem. Airport operations were not disrupted and there were no passengers around."

But Martinez had no answer for the big head scratcher, how did the deer walk past the cars, buses, people, cops, and security officers to get to the door of terminal two before it opened and let the animal in?

It ain't the first time a deer has attacked an airport 
Last year, a deer ran into the BWI terminal, up the escalator, through the checkpoint (it didn't have SSSS on its boarding card), down the hall, through an open gate door, and down the steps - then bolted across the field. Perhaps they were conducting surveillance I am sure DHS wants to look into this.

But wait -- Mark Hatfield, official TSA Talking head, alluded to the fact that the deer could have been simply a test image deer.
