Man walks through security without ticket or luggage at Detroit Airport
surprised no one has posted this yet.

Metro security breach leaves many on edge
Not clear why man bypassed checkpoint

Kaylan Policherla had no ticket or baggage when he walked up to a passenger security gate Monday morning at Detroit Metro Airport -- and just kept going.

"He just walked into the airport, past the individual who checks your boarding pass and ID and then walked through the passenger screening checkpoint without stopping," said airport spokesman Michael Conway.

Policherla, 27, a native of India who became a U.S. citizen in 2005 and lives in Bryan, Ohio, ignored Transportation Security Administration officers at the McNamara Terminal who repeatedly told him to stop, officials said. The breach happened at about 7:45 a.m.

Police were notified and emergency procedures implemented: Security gates closed around the area involved and authorities ordered other passengers there to leave the terminal immediately.

Panicked people fled the terminal.

Police said Policherla was jolted with a Taser and taken into custody. He was charged with entering an airport in violation of security requirements, a one-year misdemeanor.

Authorities evacuated a portion of the McNamara Terminal for nearly an hour, officials said.

The evacuation forced some passengers to be rescreened, officials said, and at least a few missed their flights.
In wake of bomb attempt, another scare

It's been a bit nerve-racking for passengers flying through Metro Airport since a Nigerian man was accused of attempting to blow up an inbound international flight on Dec. 25.

Why 27-year-old Policherla of Bryan, Ohio, breached the security checkpoint at McNamara Terminal on Monday morning without a boarding pass or luggage wasn't clear.

He did not respond during FBI questioning and now faces a charge of entering an airport in violation of security requirements, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of a year in prison, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit.
Alarm triggered

Policherla is in custody and is expected to make a court appearance today.

Airport spokesman Conway said he wasn't aware of any reason Policherla may have given for going to the airport without a ticket or luggage and ignoring security.

This shouldn't even be considered a crime.

lol I think It's funny he got that far.

I just got back from vacationing only a couple of provinces away. Let me tell you, after spending $1,700, having all proper I.D., dressed very nice, courteous and friendly, I was treated like a terrorist the entire time. I was made to take off my pants and shoes in front of an entire crowd then they threw my cloths in a box told me I could go get them at another gate (of course at the other end of the airport), I was in a dress shirt and tie wearing only boxers for over an hour...lol..I can find the humour in it now but back then I was pissed and humiliated and wanted blood from the arrogant and bullish rent-a-cops for treating me like I was privileged for them letting me take a flight I already paid for.
I had to wait 6 hours for a 45 minute flight.
I'm not flying again, I found I can take the train for 1/3 of the price and be half way across Canada in 24 hours lol
