Cameras at Logan Airport

[Andre II]

Lewis Schiliro, the former assistant FBI director in charge of the New York field office from 1998 to April 2000, said hundreds of agents in cities nationwide used that information to develop background "on those who stood out: who they were, where they stayed, who they called, who sponsored them, what phone calls they made."

Schiliro said agents have pulled INS files, looked for links between the passengers listed on the hijacked planes and examined footage from dozens of cameras at the three airports where the terrorists boarded the aircraft.

Hm and I thought they had no cameras in Boston...
Only in Portland they even had cameras at the check-in which unfortunately didn't work on 911 ...

1. Just out of curiosity

Does anybody have official statements that neither Boston nor Newark have cameras at check in or in boarding area?

2. I believe the 9/11 Comm'n Report says so in the first chapter. nt

3. My understanding is that...

... there were no cameras at the gate or check-in (at least that's the story) at Newark and Boston, but there were other cameras at the airports, for example by ATM.

On edit: There were cameras in the garage at Boston - they got the white Mitsubishi on them.

On 2nd edit: Apparently the Portland images of Atta and Alomari have been enhanced:
"The company loaned the FBI digital editing equipment that allowed investigators to enhance and sharpen video images of two of the hijackers taken hours before the attacks."

I didn't know that. It would be nice to see the originals. Maybe Alomari has his shawl on his head in them.
