ADVERTISEMENTThe one-minute video taken on Saturday morning at Naia Terminal 2 appeared to show Bertiz confronting a screening officer who had asked him to remove his shoes at a security checkpoint. In an interview, the solon decried the footage as a “twisted story” that had been edited with the “intent to cover up a fellow Naia employee’s wrongdoing.”Although the widely shared video had no audio, it was superimposed with text that supposedly explained what was happening. After passing through another detector, Bertiz took his backpack then turned toward the screening officer, who, according to the text, had asked him to remove his shoes. The video showed Bertiz flashing an ID in front of the employee’s face before grabbing the officer’s own ID and then rebuffing his attempts to retrieve it. For his part, Bertiz said that two Chinese-looking civilians escorted by Naia employees had passed through the detector before him with their shoes on.
