success in slipping past layers of security early Sunday morning made it clear that a determined person can still get into a supposedly safe area and sneak onto a plane.
• Video surveillance can help catch trespassers. Some airports use not just human eyes watching video screens, but also technology that can be programmed to sound an alert when a camera captures something potentially suspicious. But just because something is caught on camera doesn't mean it will make an impression.
• Despite great promise, "sometimes the actual results are quite underwhelming when it gets to the real world, where people are fatigued, people are preoccupied," said Richard Bloom, an airport security expert at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona. "There's no way to guarantee security, even if you had one person per video screen."
• There were no obvious efforts Monday to increase security or the police presence at airports in San Jose or Maui. In San Jose, airport officials said they were reviewing how the boy slipped through security that includes video surveillance, German shepherds and Segway-riding police officers.

David Moyes leaves as Man United manager; Ryan Giggs named interim replacement
• MANCHESTER, England (AP) -- David Moyes was fired as Manchester United manager on Tuesday, paying the price for the club's spectacular and sudden decline in his 10 months in charge since replacing Alex Ferguson.
• United announced hours later that Ryan Giggs, a club great who was on Moyes' coaching staff, will take temporary control of the team until a permanent replacement is found.
• The 50-year-old Scot was removed from his post by vice chairman Ed Woodward during a meeting at United's training ground in the morning.
• United, which is seventh in the English Premier League in a woeful defense of its title, released a two-line statement on its website, saying Moyes has left the club and that it "would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role."
• Louis van Gaal, who will leave his position as Netherlands coach after the World Cup in Brazil, has been linked strongly with the position. Borussia Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp has also been mentioned but told British newspaper The Guardian on Tuesday that his "commitment to Borussia Dortmund and the people is not breakable."
