Passenger Sneaks Onto Delta Flight to Hawaii, Highlights Security Gaps
On Tuesday, an unidentified individual boarded Delta Flight 487 from Seattle to Honolulu without a ticket, bypassing security checkpoints. The passenger was discovered during taxiing, resulting in a return to the gate and over a two-hour delay. Delta confirmed the passenger’s removal and apprehension, emphasizing prioritization of safety and security. This incident follows a similar occurrence last month involving a woman who boarded a flight from New York to Paris without a ticket, highlighting security vulnerabilities. The TSA is investigating the Seattle incident to determine how the passenger evaded standard procedures.
