History - Construction of the airport began in 1942 with modest ambitions. Only 1,000 acres (4 km²) of land on the site of Idlewild golf course were earmarked for use.

The airport was formally dedicated as New York International Airport on July 31, 1948. It was re-dedicated on December 24, 1963 as John F.

Immigration issues
Good day from Greece,
My daughter arrived in JFK on 19th of Decemeber. She is a minor, 5,5 years old and she was travelling with my sister. While at the immigration services my sister was told that she should have my written permission to accompany my daughter. The officer entered a relative comment on the computer, but they were allowed to pass. My question is, if they don't have a written permission on their way back is there a possibility to have a problem exiting the country?
Thank you very much for your kind attention...and have a great holiday.
They shouldnt have a problem

Security
Last Dec, 23rd, I've been at this airport to take my flight back to Brazil.
We've passed through the 'screening process' which I approve. However, I was surprise when I went for a quick snack before boarding: the juice I've chosen was sold in a glass bottle, which I easily could have taken with me to the cockpit.
How about the security? We can not take any perfume, cream.....
Is there an explanation?
Thank you for the opportunity.
All the items you buy or
All the items you buy or carry on you have to go through screening security procedure.
