A 9-year-old boy recently snuck onto a flight from Minneapolis to Las Vegas alone and without a ticket. The officials are confused as to how he got past security, let alone onto the plane itself. They're still investigating how the boy could have possibly gotten away with this. Apparently the boy had been in the airport for a while, taking unattended luggage, asking people to watch it for him while he went to the bathroom, and abandoning them. Officials are saying how it's slightly disconcerting that the boy wasn't caught until he got on the actual plane, where crew members started noticing some odd things about his situation. They are looking into the mystery and will hopefully be able to figure out how this small boy slipped past all the airport's security.
I find this story amusing, although it is strange that the boy could get by all the security unnoticed. I'm not too worried about it, because after all, he was a small child, but it's good that they're trying to find out what went wrong. If something like this happened with somebody who wished to cause harm to others, it could end terribly. I'm glad, however, that they caught this boy and that he didn't get to Las Vegas just to wander around and cause mischief by himself.

HAHA! I admire this little boy so much! He completed a task that has been on my Bucket List forever! Its just a shame that now airport security might get even worse.
