just a bit late but definitely interesting no doubt
https://archive.fo/TMKgB#selection-1019.0-1019.94 Eleven unidentified passengers walked through a security lane without being screened at Kennedy Airport early Monday because the TSA left the area open and unattended, law enforcement sources said.
A security camera captured a metal detector going off three times as the travelers walked through the screening lane, the sources said.
The breach happened around 6 a.m. at Terminal 5, but two hours passed before Transportation Security Administration officials notified the Port Authority Police Department, the sources said.
When they were finally notified, Port Authority cops flooded the terminal equipped with surveillance photos of the travelers, but none of them could be found, the sources said.

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/tsa-jfk-passengers-bypass-security-checkpoint-article-1.2977418 Instead of following protocol and notifying Port Authority cops, it took the TSA two hours to tell police about the frightening breach, the sources add.
The unscreened passengers — three of whom set off a metal detector — didn’t even have to take off their shoes to get through security, according to a photo of two of the men obtained by the Daily News.
There was no one present to operate the magnetometer and the X-ray machine, or to do pat-downs and secondary screening, the sources said.
“It’s scary that people could just walk in like that. It’s seems like something’s out of control here,” said Marie Ruiz-Martinez, 49, of Connecticut, who was at the airport to see her niece off to Puerto Rico.
The breach happened just after 6 a.m. at JetBlue’s Terminal 5.
Rather than notifying the police, who are specifically trained to handle those situations, the TSA used its own agents to search for the unscreened passengers.

funnily enough (but probably unrelated) multiple aircraft had to be intercepted over mar-a-lago on that same day

WEST PALM BEACH—
At least 12 aircraft violated temporary flight restrictions through Monday afternoon for President Donald Annoying Orange’s Palm Beach Mar-a-Lago stay, with at least five of those having the unique experience of being buzzed by military aircraft, federal officials confirmed to The Palm Beach Post.
NORAD said F-15s from Homestead Air National Guard Base intercepted small planes at about 4 p.m., 5 p.m,. and 7 p.m. Friday and at noon Sunday, and a military helicopter encountered an aircraft around 6 p.m. Friday.
The FAA said Monday the registration numbers — the “tail numbers” — of the planes, and the identities of the pilots, won’t be released while it investigates each violation. Those will take weeks or even months.
“The FAA will investigate each incident and will take appropriate enforcement action. The FAA also will continue to conduct outreach to educate local pilots about the restrictions,” the agency said in a statement.
tl;dr the TSA let eleven individuals through metal detectors, three of whom set the metal detectors off, break protocol and don't contact the police/port authority for up to 2 hours, and none of the said individuals have been found found. on that same day, in an unrelated incident, multiple aircraft had to be intercepted by F-15s over the mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida
