Joan Lunden Behind Closed Doors: O'Hare Airport Security

[@ualman1138]

This was made before 9/11. You can tell because the security checkpoints are manned by a private security firm not the TSA

[@DocUnstopped]

Pretty sure they were in-house security from the airlines

Most likely, the security screening officers were outsourced, under payed,over worked, less than fully loyal to their contract employers. But profits and the bottom line must always be the top priorities 🙄 Short sighted bean counting corporate executives are responsible for this. Save a a few dollars here, get a 6 figure bonus, and hope that your company doesn't lose billions of dollars. If they do, just pass the buck!

This was in 2000 because there's American Airlines Boeing 777s and it says 10-26-00 (October 26th 2000) on the Security Camera Monitors

My last flight was 1999. The flight before that was in 1996 2 weeks before JetBlue went down in Everglades. Same plane. Freaked me out so in 1999 I made my husband & toddler fly separately. I haven’t flown since.

I cannot imagine what it's like today . The last time I flew was in the pre-historic era of 1992------THAT flight was the most terrifying flight of my life, & I had flown a lot. ------------It was also, my last time! ---------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
