The shame of it all is, he was in Safety Yellow Vest.

And the fence he climbed over (mistake) was blown over in a storm
last ? year.

He should have never been arrested - detained and questioned and then
rescued in my opinion.

Stranded Jet Skier Breaks Through JFK Airport's $100 Million Security System

When Daniel Casillo's jet ski sunk in the Jamaican Bay, he decided to try to
swim to shore. After swimming 3 miles, he ended up at JFK Airport in New
York. When he stepped onto land, he was right in front of the airport's
8-foot-high fence designed to keep out terrorists.

Dressed in a bright-yellow life vest, Casillo climbed right over the wall
and walked across two runways to a tarmac outside the terminal at the
airport.

No one noticed Casillo until he approached a Delta Airlines employee outside
the terminal. That's when the airport notified the police.

What Casillo may not have known is that he had just breached a $100 million,
state-of-the-art security system designed to keep the most dangerous
terrorists away. He walked past motion detectors and closed-circuit cameras
completely undetected.

The failed system, made by Raytheon, is called the Port Authority's
Perimeter Intrustion Detection System (PIDS).

What's interesting is that a man dripping wet and wearing bright yellow made
it past the entire security system without even a single person or camera
noticing him.

Authorities arrested the man and charged him with criminal trespassing. News
reports say he was partying the night before with friends. But why are they
focusing on the man who climbed the wall instead of asking how he managed to
get all the way through security at the airport? The man isn't a criminal --
he was stranded and had to swim 3 miles.

If he hadn't approached the Delta worker, he probably could have made it
inside.

The Port Authority police are blaming the security system. Still, how do we
know who is completely at fault? Did the airport disable the security system
for some reason or did the system just fail?

And how did nobody see a man in a yellow vest climb the fence?
