  Article makes it seem like the have no idea of how she got passed TSA checkpoint. If you’ve got off one flight and passed security already then you only have to get past the flight security at the gate. Boom, Free flight to Paris. Almost. “I would’ve gotten away with it too! If it wasn’t for those meddling flight attendants doing there jobs.”

  Just think - we are only reading this because this time the person was caught.

  Makes you wonder how many times people have succeeded at this - but of course, by definition we’ll never know.

  Time for the TSA to install more checkpoints.

  I guess we really do need to microchip and track everyone to prevent this sort of thing.

  I would date her after hiding my cash.
