In a surprising incident, a woman managed to bypass security checks and board a Delta flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport without a boarding pass or passport. She was discovered while the plane was in midair and was taken into custody in Paris. It's unclear how she managed to bypass the TSA process and board the Boeing 767-400ER without showing a boarding pass or passport to Delta staff. The TSA is investigating the incident, and the woman could be subject to a civil penalty or fine for bypassing the document check process. Delta is also conducting an exhaustive investigation and working collaboratively with other aviation stakeholders and law enforcement to ensure safety and security.
