Man passes DFW airport security, boards plane without ticket
U.S. transportation security officials are investigating how a man was able to pass through a security checkpoint without a ticket at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and board a commercial airliner, airport officials said on Monday. An airline agent discovered what happened before the flight departed and called airport police, who arrested the man on criminal trespassing charges, the airport said.

Because TSA.
Don't forget the airline rep that should have checked his ticket prior to entering the jetway.
No one is acknowledging that this guy had to go through the same security checkpoints as everyone else so how could he have posed a security threat? Boarding a flight without permission in the form of a ticket is simply tresspassing.
So did he convince his girlfriend to get off the plane? Inquiring minds want to know.
I was with Rodney Dangerfield one time, and we jumped the fence, and flew the plane.
The matter being addressed in this article is SECURITY,not a darn soap opera. Your lovelorn, disconsolate guy could of had a BOMB, GUN, or KNIFE on him to kill his ex and many innocence people because she dumped him.("If I can't have her ,nobody can" weak minded sicko mentality) As far as the poorly attended checkpoint, what do you want instead of stanchions, metal walls? That's find with me. However,if every checkpoint had an armed LEO with a loaded gun, doing hours of operation,you wouldn't have this problem. By the way,New Orleans have LEO's with GUNS on their checkpoints doing all hours of operation.
Ok, I'll agree that some procedures and authorizations are worthy of review and amendment. Perhaps you are not aware of the matter being addressed in this article and thread. The facts of this case are that a lovelorn, disconsolate young guy breached a poorly attended checkpoint and ran onto an airplane to plead with his (ex)girlfriend. And you believe someone should be posted who has a "green light" to shoot and kill him? Maybe some other "parts" of you are steel as well and you don't know about this little thing called love? The airplane is on the ground and there are a multitude of civilized and non-lethal measures available to effectively remedy the situation. I don't know how the demonic idea got instilled that "LEO's" can do their jobs by remote control and shoot people when they do things they don't like. Such a job as an LEO means you take some risks.
