The Detroit Free Press: Car crashes through Detroit Metro Airport's McNamara Terminal
Six people thankfully only had minor injuries.
This certainly showed one heckuva security hole at Detroit Metro, that the driver drove right through.
The driver was arrested while ranting after the event.
Interestingly enough, even as the New York Post showed the driver getting hauled off into custody, he has still not been identified over 72 hours later. There has been no news or updates of any charges or whether the driver was drunk, had a mental episode or this was something else.
Kinda strange, that.
Really, it does not.

Transportation Security Administration officers discovered the grenade in a traveler’s carry-on bag on June 15 during routine screening, officials said Monday.
So no, don't do that.
