A 'hopeless romantic' sparked a massive security scare last Sunday when he ducked past security to kiss his girlfriend goodbye at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Newark International went on high alert, with huge delays for passengers, when the man who has been identified as 28-year old student Haisong Jiang entered a "sterile" zone reserved for passengers.
Jiang was caught on video surveillance as he passed under a rope barrier and walked hand in hand with his girlfriend toward the boarding area.
Authorities in New Jersey had to undertake an intensive man hunt to track down Mr Jiang, who is studying for a doctoral degree in molecular biosciences at Rutgers university, after he left the airport.
When they finally tracked him down, he wasn't even home. He was at the gym. However, the Port Authority has confirmed that Jiang has since been arrested and he will be charged with defiant trespass.
Jiang is due in court next week and could face a fine of up to $500.
