It is, perhaps, comforting to note that the U.S. justice system still has a bit of a soft spot for lovers.

Haisong Jiang pleaded guilty today to charges resulting from his desire to have a little more time with his girlfriend at Newark Airport. He ducked past a security checkpoint to get it in January. That prompted an evacuation of the airport.

The 28-year-old Rutgers student today showed he's not only a romantic, he's a stand-up guy.

When he graduates, he plans to move to California to be with his love.
