Security breach causes delay of Jacksonville to Atlanta flight

By
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA - A plane bound for Atlanta and Washington, D.C. was delayed for more than an hour Thursday at Jacksonville International Airport when three people bypassed a security checkpoint. <br> <br> A spokesman said an AirTran Airways employee and her two young children used an employee entrance to bypass the passenger security checkpoint as they went to board a flight. <br> <br> An airport official said they were spotted on security cameras by airport security, prompting all 68 passengers to be taken off the plane and rescreened. No contraband was found. <br> <br> Flight 60 was scheduled to leave about 10:10 a.m., but left about 11:30 a.m. <br> <br> The employee and her children, whose names and ages were not released, were detained for questioning and not on the flight.
