A woman allegedly boarded a flight from Nashville to Los Angeles without a boarding pass earlier this month.
The flyer bypassed the boarding pass and ID check by walking through an unmanned section of the security checkpoint, the Transportation Security Administration said.
This doesn’t surprise me tbh. These medium sized airports at off hours will have like one of 6 TSA lanes opened with four agents being kept busy working the single line. There’s a ton of barely supervised roped off area. At my local airport I could definitely skip the document check by casually ducking under the rope into the bin line. Biggest risk would be someone else in the line looking up from their phones at the wrong time.
