PITTSTON TWP. -- A sign at the small airport forbids curbside parking and
warns that unattended vehicles will be towed. But I had no problem parking --
and leaving -- my car behind an empty cab. That was one of several rules that
didn't seem to be strictly enforced. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Once inside the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, security
seemed much the same as the many times I have passed through the airport the
last 10 years. I did notice, however, that an electronic code is needed to
open nearly every door. In addition, many doors that apparently lead to more
sensitive areas of the airport require an identification card and an access
code. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One door that I found open, and I tried several, led to a broom closet. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 So I was a little surprised when I blundered through a door, up some steps
and found myself standing in the heart of several offices, including the
Federal Aviation Administration's office. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 To enter the boarding areas at the airport -- there is one on each level --
a metal detector must be negotiated. A sign advised that only passengers with
tickets are permitted beyond that point. But the white-shirted guards failed
to ask me for a ticket when they X-rayed my bags. They simply wished me a good
day and passed me through. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The counters at the upstairs gates -- like the ones downstairs -- were
deserted and I wondered if someone could create a boarding pass and check a
bag. Could someone access a passenger list and check a bag under someone
else's name? The upstairs lounge seemed particularly vulnerable because there
was no one there. There also did not appear to be any surveillance cameras. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 When I left the terminal, 32 minutes after I parked my car in front of the
door, an airport security guard had his ticket pad out as he approached my
car. I told him I was just leaving and he let me go. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 To the airport's credit, I didn't see any way to get to the baggage area or
anywhere close to the planes without being spotted, except possibly by
sneaking through the conveyor belt. Entering the plane area outside seemed out
of the question because of a 10-foot high fence and electronically controlled
gates. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
