A 9-year-old boy traveling on his own, made it to Las Vegas without a ticket. The boy went through security with other passengers, but officials are still trying to figure out how he did it and how he got on the flight. The crew on the Delta Flight became suspicious of the child during the flight to Las Vegas and Crew members got in touch with authorities in Las Vegas. They turned the boy over to Child Protective Services. Delta is taking the incident very seriously and is working with authorities. "Obviously, the fact that the child's actions weren't detected until he was in flight is concerning," Hogan wrote. "I don't know of another instance in my 13 years at the airport in which anything similar has happened," he said. "All of this (security) since 9/11 has been to keep us safe. And it has, but still we have gaping holes, and this is a perfect example of it," Terry Trippler of ThePlaneRules.com told KARE.
I can't believe this boy made it on this flight without a ticket and without being caught until he was on the fight! It's a bit scary that security didn't catch this, although now they will be extra careful since this incident did happen.

ReplyDeleteThat's crazy, I can't imagine what was going on with the boys parents that made them either so entirely oblivious to their what their son was doing or just not care what he was doing.
