9 Year old Sneaks on Plane
the TSA and Delta are in a little hot water after this one... (www.kare11.com) Más...Not sure who is the bigger loser in this case the Security, Delta, or the parents. Sad state in either instance.
Does anyone else remember when flight attendants checked boarding passes at the door to the plane (in addition to passengers having them checked at the gate)? Also, the announcement regarding unattended items was in place long before TSA, so who knows how the concession stand employee missed that one. I will assume casino security caught the boy at the slot machines in the gate area, not TSA staff!
I think, according to the story, that the DAL FA's caught him after they were airborne. He must have had enough smarts to hang around a family until after they got on the plane. DAL and most carriers are normally pretty tight on unaccompanied minors, not only for the extra fare but liability.
And only part of their job is security. it's TSA's only job.
Yes, preacher1, you're correct. I should have paid closer attention! I'm relieved the FAs caught him.
