"We did the maximum check permissible under the law with information made available to Massport."

BOSTON -- AP
Twenty people working at Logan International Airport were charged with lying to get their jobs or security badges.

Samantha Martin, Sullivan's spokeswoman, said 15 people were taken into custody in a sweep Wednesday morning. Five more workers were expected to be in custody by the afternoon.

U.S. Attorney Michael J. Sullivan scheduled a news conference for Wednesday afternoon to announce details of the charges, which are part of an ongoing investigation to improve airport safety.

The employees work for private companies at Logan, not the airport itself.
