Airport Security Failure

An off-duty California police officer managed to slip through security at the Los Angeles airport with a gun she unwittingly left in her hand luggage and has been detained in Taiwan, officials said Thursday.

Police are questioning a man who entered the Chennai Airport's domestic terminal allegedly without a valid ticket when the airport was on a high alert on Independence Day.

A common design problem in the US air traffic control system made it possible for a U-2 spy plane to spark a computer glitch that recently grounded or delayed hundreds of Los Angeles area flights, according to an inside account and security experts.
