Terminal B at Newark Liberty Airport evacuated after security breach
NEW YORK -- Newark Liberty International Airport's Terminal B was fully evacuated Thursday night following a security breach.
The Port Authority says at around 9:15 p.m. a person waiting in the TSA line entered a security door. The entire terminal had to be cleared while a K-9 unit did a sweep of the area and located that person.
