Plane security breach remains under investigation

United States Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) is continuing to investigate a security breach aboard US Airways 1070.

The Bermuda-bound flight arrived to the Island six hours later than anticipated on Thursday evening after the breach.

Federal officers and bomb-sniffing dogs were brought to Philadelphia International Airport on Thursday morning to search the airplane after baggage handlers noticed a stranger was helping them load it.

The man was wearing a uniform but didn't carry the necessary security badge.

He turned and walked away when confronted and asked to produce identification, sparking a massive search of the area.

Mark Medvesky, Public Affairs officer ICE said the matter was still being investigated by authorities and said there were not updates.
