Chicago, Ill. (TLS). CBS Channel 2 in Chicago is reporting the results of an undercover operation that exposed a serious security breach at O'Hare International Airport. The investigation reveals that 3,807 employee security I.D. badges have been stolen.
However, this is not the most serious of the information uncovered by the undercover investigation. CBS Channel 2 also reports that O'Hare did nothing to discover the source of the security breach.
In short, O'Hare never investigated the case of the stolen I.D. badges.
This has led CBS Channel 2 to designate O'Hare as a 'fly at your own risk' air facility. There is no way to validate the I.D.s of the thousands of airport workers who have access to highly sensitive areas on a daily basis, short of a massive verification operation that would identify every single I.D. badge holder.
To say the least, such an operation would be a massive--and costly--undertaking.
