TSA can’t even outsmart a nine-year-old boy …
“Despite numerous checkpoints and gate agents, officials at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport say a 9-year-old was somehow able to sneak through security and onto a Delta flight headed to Las Vegas.”
That’s the report from Minneapolis-St. Paul TV station KARE 11, which says the “security mishap” came Thursday when the boy sneaked into the airport and onto Delta Flight 1651 to Las Vegas.
Pat Hogan, spokesperson for the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), confirmed the incident to KARE, but says it wasn’t the result of an airport shortcoming.
“At this point, this is a Delta and TSA issue,” Hogan tells KARE. “This is a rare incident.”
MSP officials say they’ve reviewed security footage and at this point do not believe he was carrying a boarding pass.
No word yet if the boy’s name is “Kevin.”
