Last week a 9 year old boy boarded a plane from the Minneapolis to Las Vegas. He was able to get past security and board the flight. He was only caught because flight attendants thought he was strange, as he was traveling by himself and wasn't given any special attention (as younger children traveling alone usually are.). They turned him over to child protective services and were able to contact his parents. they are still not entirely sure how he managed to board the plane in the first place.
I have ridden on airplanes before and been to the airport and there seems to be a whole lot of security. there is a lot people must go through before boarding a plane. it really surprises me that a 9 year old was able to get past it. it also worries me that the airport is not completely secure and his is possible for someone unauthorized to board the plane. The boy was harmless, but I hope the airport is trying to fix the problems so an incident like this does not occur again.

Security guards must've not been doing their job in no way should he have been able to pass them without getting caught shame on them
ReplyDeleteNow I've honestly never rode a plane before, but I know that there is a lot of security there. I hope they fix that problem asap!
ReplyDeleteThis is like the scheme of some sort of, "smart kid" flick. You know what I mean? Like, "Home Alone" and all that jazz. Anyway. Whatever. Glad the kids fine.

ReplyDeleteMy mom is a flight attended and I'm sure she would be very confused if a little boy managed to get all the way on the plane. I have a hard time knowing where to go I have no Idea how a little boy figured his way around an airport!
ReplyDeleteImagine if the boy had a bomb and was let on without any special attention, this is crazy. Come on!!!!!!! This airport needs to get its act together!
