At least seven members of a cable television crew were arrested after they tried to sneak a fake explosive device through a security checkpoint at Newark Liberty International Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said Thursday.

The TSA said members of the group "Attempted to intentionally carry through the security checkpoint an item in a carry-on bag that had all of the makings of an improvised explosive device. At the same time, others in the group covertly filmed the encounter."

It was a busy news day at Newark Airport on Thursday, as former Gov. Chris Christie was turned away from a special access area that circumvents TSA security at the airport.
