authorities are still trying to figure out
how a nine-year-old boy from
Minneapolis travelling alone, boarded a
plane without a ticket and flew to Las
Vegas. This happened Thursday
morning at St. Paul International
Airport, Minneapolis. Police said the
boy was somehow able to get through
three levels of security. The flight crew
reportedly became suspicious of the
boy during the flight, and contacted
police, who met them in Las Vegas
when the plane landed. Airport officials
reviewed security footage and found
out that the boy spent a good amount
of time at the airport before boarding
the plane. CNN reports that the boy
was at the airport the day before. 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." Then the following
day the child took the train to the
airport, cleared security and nearly
made it to Las Vegas without detection.
Police believe the boy is a runaway, and
he was returned to his parents.
