This Inspires Confidence
We thought there were gates, bollards, barbed wire, tire-shredders and armed guards protecting the airport. Guess not:
Another security scare hit O'Hare International Airport this weekend — this time involving a delivery driver who drove into unauthorized secured areas before someone caught on. His explanation might be a shock.
Travelers at O'Hare are likely familiar with the sight of cars coming through to pick up and drop off passengers. Anyone caught stopping for too long is told to keep it moving. The tight ship run at pickup and drop-off makes what happened around noon Saturday highly confusing. A DoorDash driver drove through secured areas before someone realized he wasn't supposed to be there.
A source told CBS News Chicago the delivery driver drove miles along the interior and restricted roads at O'Hare — potentially crossing runways — before someone spotted him from the air traffic control tower.
Hearing this just makes us wonder that there hasn't been an airport incursion by someone with motives more sinister than delivering a sandwich.

Everyone knows the most vigilant patrolman are assigned to Ohare
Running recon. Good catch tower personnel!
Well thank goodness they removed swat from the airports. I'm sure the KMA club POs working at the airports are ready willing and able to engage a terrorist at any time. We should promote more Georgas' to command positions. After the IDF came and did an evaluation of the airports, and they were astonished and sickened by the absolute lack of security, it would make even more sense to remove the one asset that would or could prevent a slaughter. I'm sure any 60 year old PO who can't run more that 3 steps would be more than capable of dealing with a group of terrorists with ak 47s.
Unit 050 and Aviation Security are a joke
More importantly, who ordered the Door Dash?
O’Hare secure?! 🤦♂️😂
DO NOT WORRY.
They have top notch crack security there at O'hare airport. They are ARMED to the teeth !!
Wait.. they have no guns at all. Not even revolvers. 🤣🤣🤣
Sgt K will save the day 7263
What a joke 050 is never see a police presence , go to another airport traffic enforcement etc , guys with rifles patrolling k9s walking everywhere , at 050 you see a guy smoking a cigarette, or ASOS collecting another paycheck after retirement .
Airport security here has been and is way understaffed and lax. No bosses capable of actually knowing wtf they are responsible for away from the terminals.
Even though Feds subsidise airport infrastructure it is a ghost operation.
Unit 050 is dangerously short on manpower. If it wasn’t for OT there wouldn’t be enough officers to fill the beat cars on some days. This has been a huge problem for the last few years and yet nothing is done about it.
Dry run.
Nothing to see here folks/people keep
It moving!!!
The driver wasn't mentioned by name. Likely an illegal who can't read English. Venezuelan "newcomers" dominate the restaurant and grocery delivery apps in Chicago. How are the apps allowing them to have accounts, inquiring minds want to know...
Put the driver in jail for 364 days. Civil action again door dash of $10M. That will stop the nonsense.
Snooze and loose 050 tact
Missed out on your annual blue card
I flew in and out of O’Hare at least 12 times last year, not a huge sample, and not once did I see a single PO or Aviation officer. Yet at the destination airports, police were visible and actually patrolling outside of the secure area, you know, the area where the actual security breeches would take place.
Someone that wanted it freaky fast no doubt.
With Eddie burke no longer in play and his "golf outing" who gets the envelope for this detail?
O'Hare is a cash cow for the city and the concession stands and restaurants are only given to the connected. You would think someone with half a brain would pay for attention to the security short comings at the facility. Oh wait, that would be proactive.
Officers assigned to the airports are useless. Old dogs!! I understand you put your time in but put these guys in the armory or at the supply warehouse. Snelling is soooooo big on uniforms and here you have ass hats looking like shit on their segways and that’s the first impression these tourists get of us. Fix it!
Was the food cold by then?
Crossing runways????????!
GTFOH!
Now, now...I know all of you short timers want one of those spots at the airport. With your ten years on the job we all know youse gym rats are rock hard and ready to battle with the Al-Quida and various terrorist attacker types. All kidding aside
everyone is assigned a post. if someone got a car on the runway it was a management failure for not having someone there at a post to stop him. If the Commander doesn't have enough personnel he should request an overtime initiative for more people. Personally, I think it's a big enough victory that they got all of the piss- bums out. It was getting pretty rank when you walked into the airport and could smell the piss from outside the building. Whoever cleaned up that mess did a great job!
No more free cheese for you!!!
Blame 050 if you must, but the mouth breathers of Aviation Securrity control all those entrance gates.
Aviation security is in charge of the access points to the secure side of the airport. Get some time on the job kid and you can get to the airports. Stop your whining.
I’m sorry you can’t get there. Don’t hate
I never got anything on this job without bidding for it. It's called seniority. The only other way to get anything with no time on the job is to give good head or to call your Godfather. The guys that bid into that unit had their time in and earned it that way. If we didn't have a union contract these guys, along with you would still be pushing a beat car on midnights in 015. The bosses of the cherry pie units hate the contract also since they would like to fill airport spots with nepo babies and clout people. These bosses wouldn't let you in with thirty years on the job if union contract didn't force them to open bids. Here's a helpful tip for making a move. Put in a bid even if you don't think you have no chance of getting it. Sometimes the person who got it pulls their bid and you might get lucky. It's happened to me a few times. I knew guys that wouldn't put in bids over being called "disloyal" to the watch. Fuck that. Make the move that's best for yourself. Or how about not wanting to leave your partner behind? And then you got left behind when your partner used his phone call and left. You'll get your time on and get what you want. Don't let it make you miserable.
Good on the Air Traffic Controller.
Get some time on the job kid. You'll make it there some day.
Unit 050 does have MR. T to handle any situation that may arise. He is the only one that knows how to be the Police from his days in a rough district. And no I am not referring to a Sgt from 011 who has way too stories and drinks the kool aid with georgas.
From shootouts at the arrivals terminal with limited security cameras, to door dash wandering around the perimeter of a supposedly secure area...O-Hare is becoming a soft target. It is the perfect storm for terrorists.
Speaking of Venezuelans, did you know a Venezuelan was the original creator of the G-switch? War History On-line.
How does a Doordash driver get buy secure checkpoints to the air field? someone should be losing their job. That falls squarely on Dept of Aviation Security, that's their job.
Man Taken Into Custody at Buffalo Airport After Crashing Pickup Truck Into Gate
A man in a pickup truck drove through a roadside gate at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport and crossed a runway before being taken into custody Tuesday.

050 has more personnel than some of the Districts!
Probably a Gen Z management pick cop there.
can remember after 9/11 they had special with officers at every terminal and roll call was about 20 people, then dropped it to about 5 or 6 then nothing,,, guess the brass found out the terrorist were scared of O'Hare
dei hiring at its best
You could just as easily sue Google maps or whatever app was being used for the directions because that’s likely how it happened.
Mostly retired CPD
Sounds like someone may got access by using an Italian 'Beef samwich .
Do those assigned to O’Hare still get the discounted meals at the Hilton?
An IDF written and video assessment of Unit 050 highlighted serious deficiencies of numerous incompetent officers but made a horrifying example of a former CPD Spokesperson (JM) and his stunning lack of response or basic understanding of simple tasks. To quote, “ This buffoons irresponsible behavior resulted in his being banned from even having access to a CPD vehicle and his unwavering lack of common sense put other Officers in jeopardy.”In conclusion it stated the Officer believed his attendance at his prescribed assignment wasn’t a priority and mocked him as being aloof and believed he could ascribe to the Covid Protocols of working out of his home. In short he’d find a way to go home and simply blow off his jobs. Remember boys, you are being filmed or followed everywhere…thankfully.
When it takes 26 years to bid, or a phone call from the Almighty himself, to get assigned to the airport, this is what you get.
What is the difference between ghosts and aviation security at O'Hare? At least ghosts can be seen on Halloween.
Shiiiit! there's POs at Midway who don't wear a vest or carry a gun
Dirt strip where I keep my 1926 crop duster has better security than ohare . Granny clampett with a double barrel .
Airports operate under the illusion of security. They put all kinds of visible restrictions and safeguards in place, without actually securing the property in any significant way. Ticketed passengers are the only ones who actually experience any kind of actual security.
Aviation Security = "Home for broken toys"
If it is a breech of security it is into the secure area….
How many people are even staying on the job for 26 years now?
Buffoon is being nice to him. How he is/was the police is beyond me. He is at his home at touhy and Harlem more than he is at his job.
