Do I have to go through airport security twice?

Why does EWR say New York?

There's a story about this. When Fiorello LaGuardia was mayor of New York City, he flew back (an unusual thing in those days) to town. The plane landed at Newark Airport, as most flights to New York City did at the time. He refused to get off, saying his ticket said New York, and Newark was certainly *not* New York.

Can you leave the airport and come back during a layover?
