ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A fourth security breach in less than a month is prompting changes at Lambert Airport in St. Louis.
The latest incident happened Saturday night when a passenger re-entered the gate area through an exit without going through security. An alarm later sounded, and the woman was escorted out.
Now, Lambert police say an officer will guard the area inside the A Concourse where the breach occurred. That officer replaces security guards who previously guarded the area.
On May 7th, a passenger leaving the gate area went back in without passing through security. Hours later, a homeless man walked through an outside gate and onto a plane.
Last week, a man flew to Philadelphia with a ticket for a woman who had the same last name as him.
