With nearly 40 million passengers a year, it’s an airport the size of a small city. Whether it’s intercepting drug smugglers, fighting terrorism, securing an Air Force One landing, handling medical emergencies or dealing with sting operations and aircraft malfunctions, Airport 24/7: Miami reveals what travelers typically don’t see.
