stay in place, move to a sh shelter, do something. >> another big issue is the lack of an integrated cctv or show surveillance. some of the terminals have video feeds, but there's no overall comprehensive system so police can see what a threat may be. the port authority police is recommending that police have access to realtime video, just like the nypd. >> most shopping malls in america are more protected and better >> reporter: the port authority says it's working with its federal, state and local partners on a top to bottom review of what went wrong that night. for starters, the papd ppb says how about an evacuation plan, emergency exit signs and text message alerts in case of danger. charles schumer is asking for homeland security to step in. >> i am calling on the department of homeland security, the federal department of

to what went wrong involving all the agencies and coming up with a comprehensive plan where these various agencies would have to coordinate with each other if, god for bid, there was a terrorist attack or report of a terrorist attack. >> reporter: governor cuomo is also doing his own study asking the state police to take a look at what went wrong. the issue is the surveillance system. according to asking for the port authority to step it up and get with the times. i'm lisa evers, fox 5 news. back to you. christina: the voices are growing. thank you so much. we're lucky to be joined by the chief operating officer for security u.s.a. he's a former lieutenant of the nypd. thanks for being here. >> good to be here. christina: you're the coo of security usa providing security on all levels to major figures, public events.

>> yes. it was scary to watch what unfolded at the time this hap happened. two of the things we're going to see happen with the police department and the tsa is to look at different levels. one is their staffing level and their communication level to the people that are in the airport to the people that work in the airport to let them know what's happening. >> reporter: let's talk about one of those factors. communication. people in the airport had no idea what was happening. their idea what was happening. in this day of social media, i saw one tweet from the port authority saying there was something going on. after that, nothing. it seems like there was no information, no drill, no preparedness going on. is that the case? >> it seems in this case, yes. communication was lapse. christina: what should have happened? >> there should have been notifications going out p.a. system, via social media, letting people know inside and outside the terminal what was

let people know. without communication you have chaos and mayhem. christina: you think of the hundreds of closed circuit cameras. some are owned by the tsa. some by port authority police. some are owned by private vendors. they're in a little room you can't get into. say there's a shooter on the loose and they're trying to get a description out. you can't get it out over the main system. do you think that will change? >> that will change. the cameras and do quick looks is something that's very concerning. that's going to be one of the things they unify is look at any camera or any part of the terminals to see what's happening. christina: do you think jfk airport or any one of our major area airports is prepared for an active shooting situation? >> it's very difficult to prepare because of the chaos that will happen, because people will panic.

if something should happen, it will be difficult. you're talking about thousands of people running around looking for cover. but people have to understand they also have a key role to play in their safety. christina: i like that. explain. >> they need to know what's there that they have to do. the first most important thing is if you can, you want to get away from the area. get away from the threat. if you can't get away, you need to lock yourself down and get somewhere where you're safe. the las fight back if that's the last resort. but people, when you go to a store, you go to the movie theatre, you know where the emergency exits are. you have to understand what you need to do in a lockdown situation when there are shots fired or a belief that shots are fired. the police have to respond but the people have to know what to do in case something happens. communication and the staffing levels are very important for the port authority christina: those are key.
