is the any secruity between arrival areas and departure area. I ask because it would appear that at least 2 of the hijackers arrived from Portland. Unlikely, most airports you disembark and then the baording areas are within the same areas/concourses, behind security. If you had to go buy a ticket though, you'd would have to exit that area and re-enter, through "security". -dave

You do not have to go through a security check pt if you arrive and your departure is in the same general gate area. Logan has different check pts for the same terminal. Some departures/arrivals leave from areas that have only 2-3 gates. So depends on arrival and departure and what airlines... But I don't think it really matters if they were using some type of plastic knife or such. I'll tell you that I think it would be easy to get through logan. My keys don't even set off the detectors sometimes... And I'll say that alot of the security people at logan have some type Indian/Muslum background IMO. This is one thing that has always bothered me... I fly United/USAir quite often from Logan...

Our little "Portland Int'l Jetport" is one, very modest sized building. It does not have a separate sterile wing - like most large airports. It is more like a sterile corridor. An arriving passenger would not have to exit and re-enter that corridor. It also has, because of its size and the quality of the labor pool here, one of the tightest check points around. It is not like LaGuardia, O'Hare, LAX etc - where they are just trying to jam people through. If you only have one or two flights an hour - you can check out passengers fairly well. A car has been reported to be in the parking lot with suspicious material. So - I am not 100% on whether these 2 entered the states on a plane or by car. You probably recall the bin Laden operative that was caught smuggling explosives from Canada to Maine. BTW - I just moved here, from CT where half my neighborhood - me included - worked in the city. Most of us whose final destination was down in the financial district took the same dawn train, caught a subway at Grand Central and then... This is overwhelming.
