OUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- Authorities arrested 28 workers at Bush Intercontinental Airport on charges of violating federal law in obtaining security badges, the U.S. attorney's office announced.
The 28 workers are among 143 airport workers indicted on those charges in August and early September. Arrest warrants have been issued for those not taken into custody on Monday, the attorney's office said.
Ten of those arrested Monday are charged with two felony counts of fraudulent use of a Social Security number and of lying to a federal agency. They had applied for and obtained blue or gray airport security badges, which allow the wearer to access secure areas of the airport, including ramps, gates, the tarmac, and in and around airplanes.
