The ABC15 Investigation is getting national attention.
ABC15's Lisa Fletcher will be on Good Morning America Monday at 7 a.m.
It's what you have to do when you fly - use X-ray machines, metal detectors, and deal with liquid restrictions in your carry-on luggage. You know the drill.
Security checkpoints are just part of travel these days. They're supposed to keep us safe, so we use them - but not all of us and not all the time.
We've discovered a 4.5 hour time frame each night when virtually anything can be brought into the secure side of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. There's no metal detector, no X-ray machine, and it's apparently not a problem.
Afraid to show her face, one long time Sky Harbor employee talks about the security most people don't see.Lisa Fletcher: "You're telling me Sky Harbor's not safe?" Employee: "I'm telling you Sky Harbor's not safe and hasn't been for a long time."It's what we discovered in the middle of the night - TSA agents going away, and security guards taking over. It's 4.5 hours - every night - when an employee badge becomes an all-access pass.
Night after night, our hidden cameras captured what security experts tell us is a disaster waiting to happen. The X-ray machines were off, the metal detectors were closed, and bags with unknown contents were carried to the secure side of the airport where the planes are. We watched as a security guard let people with purses, coolers and suitcaseswalk right through - bags unchecked.
Even more surprising, some of the people you trust to keep you safe planned it this way.
Read the whole thing.
