Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie denied VIP entry at Newark Airport
NBC News, Jan 19, 2018. Dartunorro Clark

<snip>

When Christie arrived at Terminal C in the airport with his New Jersey State Police detail and was taken to the entrance, which is located near the exit of the restricted area of the terminal, a Port Authority officer refused to let Christie use the special entrance, informing the former governor that he is no longer allowed to use it.

The source said that Christie had used the entrance recently, just before his eight-year term as governor ended earlier this week. He's been a private citizen for three days.

The Port Authority officer escorted Christie to the regular entrance. A Port Authority spokesperson said Christie did not make a scene and complied with the officer's request.

In a pair of tweets Thursday evening, Christie called the idea that he was turned away from the special access entry point "pure fiction."

He said he and his security detail were initially led to the wrong entrance by a Port Authority official, and then directed to the correct entrance area.

Why is there a VIP entrance in the first place.    Perhaps this nation would be better if these elites had to suffer with the masses.

He must have thought he was traveling to shut down lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge..

Thats the fastest way to get to Island State Beach. Sooner or later those families living there will want to return to their homes.

First trip since he was governor?  Might be different (but still special) protocol for ex-governors?
