Increased security -- including random vehicle checks, increased visibility of law enforcement and K-9 patrols -- were evident at KCI Airport on September 11, the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America. But despite warnings of “actionable intelligence” and possible terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C., it was Kansas City who filed the most dramatic story of the day – and courtesy of an ex-New York City police officer.
Anthony Falco Jr., 47, faces two counts of making false statements during an alleged incident at the Southwest Airlines’ Terminal B last Sunday at around 9:30 am that triggered stopgap measures and delayed flights all across the country.
Falco faced two federal charges on Monday afternoon at the federal court in Kansas City, where he vehemently denied causing a terror threat the day previous, calling the charges “totally absurd.”
