NEW YORK (WABC) -- A New Jersey teenager who was apparently obsessed with 1 World Trade Center managed to gain access to the building in the middle of the night, climb to the top and take pictures, according to Port Authority police.

1. So much for security.

If a 16 year old could gain that much access to the building you can imagine what someone with bad intentions might have been able to achieve.

3. I give that building 10 years, before someone knocks it down.

The last one was there for 30, although the first attempt to knock it down was after about 20. I'd be surprised if the replacement lasts for 10. You just know that there have been people plotting to knock it down since before it was even designed. Biggest target on the planet.

4. I wonder if, after he was stopped, they even

thought to do a full security sweep of the entire building and site. Probably not. I would think that the most potentially successful bad guy is the one that does not look like one. That is why some groups use women at times.

2. At least he did it from the inside...

I expected this to be a "human fly" story by the headline.

5. That would be quite an impressive feat . . .

. . . given the smooth glass exterior of the building!
