The 28-year-old hopeless romantic Haisong Jiang, who knew no (security) boundaries when he was torn apart from his girlfriend at Newark Airport, was back in court today. In January Jiang slipped by a TSA agent in the airport, shutting down Terminal C for six hours as authorities searched for him. The Rutgers grad student has now apologized and pleaded guilty to breaching security in order to give his lady love one last kiss before she boarded a plane. He says, “I feel guilty about this. I’m trying to apologize for any inconvenience caused by my mistake. It’s a big mistake.”
Jiang also got a $500 fine and must perform 100 hours of community service as part of the plea to defiant trespassing, according to NJ.com. The NY Times he'll serve his time in a soup kitchen and either a hospital or nonprofit agency. And it should be noted that Jiang has since proven he can do the whole airport thing without incident—for Valentine's Day he flew to California to be with his girlfriend, and managed not to make headlines.
