The Transportation Security Administration announced today that PHL will get about $4.9 million to buy a new closed circuit TV system, to be used to dectect security threats. Acting aviation direcor Mark Gale said in a statement that the new cameras and recording equipment are part of a larger, integrated security system at the airport. The system is still in development and could take as long as two years from design to final installation. About 90 cameras are to be installed, Gale said.
