Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has denied reports that he attempted to evade a security checkpoint at the Newark Liberty International Airport on Thursday, despite public statements from Port Authority officials claiming otherwise.
CBS New York reported Thursday that the former governor, who just had his last day in office Tuesday, attempted to enter the airport through a special access area with his state police escort that he reportedly used when he was governor. A Port Authority officer stopped Christie from using that entrance and escorted him to the regular entrance, according to a Port Authority official who spoke with CBS. Christie was reportedly cooperative.
But Christie denied the claims in a tweet Thursday evening, calling the stories “absolutely false” and saying he was led to one entrance by a Port Authority officer, but was then informed by the TSA that it was the wrong entrance and he was directed to a different gate.

Unflattering headlines are nothing new for the embattled former governor who served a tumultuous eight years as governor and left with a shameless 15 percent approval rating. Christie was replaced by Democrat Phil Murphy, who was sworn in on Tuesday.

Good post; you summed it all up.
After being laid off from a job I'd had for nine years, I had to make one last visit to the HR office. As I had done practically every day for those nine years, I entered the office building, got on and off the elevator, exchanged a few pleasantries in the reception area, and walked right past the reception desk to the HR department. It never entered my mind that I should have conducted myself as a visitor because I didn't work there anymore. When security showed up, all I could do was laugh and say "Force of habit -- guilty as charged!"
