ST PAUL, MN – A 9-year-old boy walked on to a flight bound for Vegas. Investigators at the Minneapolis International Airport are trying to figure out why no one stopped him. Airport officials said surveillance video shows the boy walking through the airport without a boarding pass. Nobody stopped him until he got to Nevada.
“All the expense in this to keep us safe since 911, and it has, but still we have gaping holes and this was a perfect example of it,” said Terry Trippler, air travel expert.
Delta is also investigating how the boy got on the flight. Officials said the boy was a runaway.
He is currently in protective custody back in the Twin Cities.
