9 Years Old Boy Beats Airport Security Check Point And Hops Into Plane To Vegas

If you think it is only in movies you the actors beating security check points, you are so wrong because kids of these days are now getting smarter than movie makers.
Until now the airport security are still wondering how a 9 years old boy beat the security check point without detection.

.Patrick Hogan, a spokesman for Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, said the crew of Delta Flight 1651 “became suspicious of the child’s circumstances” during the flight from Minneapolis to Las Vegas. Crew members got in touch with authorities in Las Vegas and turned the boy over to Child Protective Services, Hogan said in a statement. “Fortunately, the flight crew took appropriate actions to ensure the child’s safety, so the story does have a good ending,” he said. Delta said it takes the incident “very seriously” and is working with authorities.


The boy, a runaway from the Twin Cities, spent a good amount of time at the airport before boarding the plane, KARE said. He was there the day before, the station reported, citing airport officials. He passed his time by taking luggage from a carousel, bringing it to an airport eatery and then ditching it, asking a server to watch the bag “while he went to the restroom.” The following day the child took the train to the airport, cleared security and made it to Las Vegas nearly without detection.

“Obviously, the fact that the child’s actions weren’t detected until he was in flight is concerning,” Hogan wrote. Still, 33 million people travel through Minneapolis’ airport every year, he noted. “I don’t know of another instance in my 13 years at the airport in which anything similar has happened,” he said. A flight security expert said it’s very concerning that the child made it through several security checks.

Such incident has happened before in 2007 another 9-year-old managed to fly from Seattle to Phoenix to San Antonio before being found out. He had a boarding pass, though. His mother told CNN her son gave ticketing agents a fake name.

Last year an 11-year-old boy in Manchester, England, managed to slip away from his mother during a shopping trip. He made it all the way to Rome without a boarding pass or a passport. But any Colosseum dreams were dashed. He never left the airport in Rome and was returned to his parents the same day.

Looks like children who watches most of these action movies now want to practice what they watch.
