St. Louis —
Authorities at Lambert Airport said they've had two security breaches in one week.
According to Jeff Lea, Public Relations Manager at Lambert, on Tuesday, a female passenger exited a secured area only to do a u-turn telling the guard she forgot her purse.
The guard allowed her to go back without going through the security precautions.
He called airport police and a sweep of the terminal revealed nothing unusual.
Lea said the security guard has been fired.
