Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Department of Homeland Security have announced new regulations to bolster safety protocols at JFK Airport.
The new measures come just months after an active shooter scare caused widespread panic at an airport terminal.
It was all caused by a false report of gunshots that turned out to be cheering at a terminal bar.
Top security officials say poor communication between law enforcement agencies contributed to the mass panic and evacuation.
They recommend the Port Authority establish a central command center to distribute the latest information to all agencies.
Officials will also implement new mandatory training so all airport workers can better assist passengers during emergencies.
