Ever wonder how closely all those ID’s and boarding passes etc are eyed? My driver’s license is almost due so the photos is from 15 years ago. I try to smile the same worried, that I don’t look like that person anymore.
Apparently there is no worrying needed. Because even though they say things like:
“We take security matters very seriously…”
It can’t really be true if after some complained of body odor on a plan:
A flight attendant asked Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi for his boarding pass and was surprised to see it was from a different fight and in someone else’s name. She alerted authorities, and Noibi went back to sleep in his black leather airline seat. When the plane landed, authorities chose not to arrest Noibi, allowing him to leave the airport.
On Wednesday, Noibi was arrested trying to board a Delta flight out of Los Angeles. Once again, he had managed to pass undetected through security with an expired ticket issued in someone else’s name. Authorities found at least 10 other boarding passes, none of which belonged to him. Law enforcement sources told The Times they suspect Noibi has used expired plane tickets to sneak on to flights in the past. On his website, Noibi describes himself as a “frequent traveler.”
Now, federal authorities and Virgin America are trying to explain how the Nigerian American was able to get through layers of security — and then avoid arrest for five days after officials discovered he was a stowaway.
That….all of that….describes “we take security matters seriously”??
Me thinks they don’t understand what that means.
