Security Administrations are still trying to figure out how a 9-year-old Minnesota boy managed to sneak past airport security and board a plane to Las Vegas without without a ticket last week.
The Transportation Security Administration said the boy went through security with all other passengers — apparently without a ticket — and took a seat on a Delta flight from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to Las Vegas.
The boy is believed to be a runaway from the Twin Cities area, according to KARE’s report. And it apparently wasn’t the boy’s first misadventure at the airport.
“MSP officials say he took someone’s luggage off a carousel (on Wednesday), ordered food at a pre-security restaurant, asked the server to watch his luggage while he went to the restroom, but never returned,” KARE says in its report.
Terry Trippler, an air travel expert with ThePlaneRules.com, tells KARE that it shouldn’t have been easy for the boy to make it through the airport’s securities, and onto the flight as a stowaway.
“He had to pass three levels of security,” Trippler says. “You have the TSA, the gate agents, and the flight crew and a child comes through without even a seat assignment.”
He says such cases are rare, but adds that “while we are safer in the air (especially since 9/11), this proves there are still gaping holes.
