NEWARK, N.J. - A terminal at Newark Liberty International Airport was briefly shut down Sunday after officials discovered that a passenger had passed through a security checkpoint without being properly screened.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport, said the breach occurred in Terminal C around 10 a.m., causing a lockdown there that lasted about two hours. Operations at the airport's two other terminals were not affected.
The breach caused numerous flight delays and required the rescreening of all passengers in the terminal.
