But what's the risk to having someone live for three months in an airport? He's gone through the same TSA security as everybody else.

Aside from the fact that screening methods have shown to be woefully ineffective at removing restricted items and weapons, I understood "secure area" as within the protected internal airport employee / admin part of the airport. The guy himself just chilling there isn't a risk, but the fact that an arbitrary person was able to do that in such a high security environment is the real problem.
