A man dressed in women's clothing who was trying to escape a 'bad date' was able to walk across two runways at Newark Liberty International Airport and wander into a terminal undetected - despite a $300million perimeter security system.

Siyah Bryant, 24, of Jersey City, New Jersey, slipped undetected into a secure area of the airport on Christmas Day and was not arrested until he approached a United Airlines worker, who called police.

The New York Post reports that a $300million Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS), which includes a system of cameras, should have spotted the man as soon as he scaled the barbed wire-rimmed fence surrounding the airport.

Bryant told police that he was on a 'date' with another man about 4.20am on Tuesday but that their car broke down on the New Jersey Turnpike outside the airport.

He says he felt unsafe left his date when the man called a friend to bring them gasolin
'The cameras were operating and he was not detected by the PIDS system,' a source told the Post.

The Port Authority, which operates all three major airports in the New York City area, paid military contractor Raytheon more than $300million to install a security system to detect any unauthorized access to the grounds surrounding airport runways, according to the Post.
