Prob not a bad idea, with all the thefts from passenger luggage. It
certainly smells like a professional job.

Hidden cameras found at airport 
By Tammy Anderson 
Pacific Daily News 
<a href="mailto:tand..._at_guampdn.com">tand..._at_guampdn.com</a> 
A tip from U.S. Customs led Guam airport agency and local customs 
officials to numerous surveillance cameras and listening devices
hidden 
in security-sensitive areas at the airport's arrival area
yesterday. 
The two agencies' top officials said they were unaware the devices
had 
been installed, including in areas where arriving passengers and
their 
bags and other belongings are checked. 
The FBI has been notified, Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency
Director 
Rick Blas said. 
Although he does not know if anything has been compromised, Blas said
it 
is possible that the confidentiality of individuals being inspected
and 
interviewed by customs officers may have been breached. If the 
information was breached, Blas said, the civil rights of passengers 
might become an issue. 
There also may have been monitoring video and audio or narcotics 
arrests, he added. 
"The breach of that facility and integrity is of great concern to
me," 
Blas said. He said customs operations will not necessarily change 
because of the discovery, but local customs will continue
investigating. 
Some of the cameras were concealed in square "EXIT" sign boxes,
Blas 
said. What he thought was a typical small, silver electrical panel 
positioned above the doors where customs officials enter and exit
every 
day, was actually the front for a finger nail-sized camera. 
"I didn't even know that the camera existed. You wouldn't even think
of 
it. I am just shocked," Blas said yesterday. 
There are surveillance cameras that are allowed and used by the
airport 
and local customs, but the devices found yesterday were not among
them, 
said Jess Torres, executive manager of the A.B. Won Pat Guam 
International Airport Authority. 
Neither Torres nor Blas could remember any authorization for the 
installation of the surveillance cameras found yesterday. 
Torres said there has never been any authorization for listening
devices 
at the airport. 
Blas and Torres said they did not know exactly how many cameras and 
microphones were found yesterday or how many more may be
present. 
They also did not know if the cameras and microphones were in use,
or 
what they are connected to. 
Torres said he and customs officials met yesterday afternoon to 
determine what their course of action would be. 
Within the next weeks, Torres said an independent contractor would
be 
hired to sweep the customs area for devices. The contractor would 
possibly be paid with emergency funds, because Torres said the
situation 
is very serious. 
Blas said he recalled that, about four years ago, a private
company's 
employees were working in the same areas where the devices were
found 
yesterday. 
"This (company's employees) said, 'We looking at wiring,'" Blas
said. 
Torres also noted that work orders on file at the agency would be 
searched today to find out who authorized and paid for the placement
of 
the cameras and microphones.
