TV report shows security at Budapest Airport easily breached

A passenger managed to get on board an airplane at Budapest's Ferihegy International Airport with a pair of scissors and a screwdriver, despite heavy security at the facility, reports RTLklub.hu. The footage of the man's trip was shown on RTLklub's popular news show "Fokusz" on Thursday night.

Even though the man was searched and passed through a metal detector, he was able to pass through security with a sizable pair of scissors and a screwdriver in his carry-on bag. According to the report, the breach of security was performed only to probe weaknesses in the airport's screening procedures.
