Prosecutors said Hartman tried three times to get on planes to Hawaii, on Feb. 15, 18 and 20, 2014. (Now she has a restaining order where she can’t get near an airport without a ticket.)
The first time, she made it through security and onto an airplane without a ticket, and was only caught when the ticketed passenger arrived and found her sitting in the seat.
Back in the day of paper tickets, it was not that rare for an occasional cabin stowaway to make it aboard. Then they’d get booted off if they weren’t hidden for the head count.
Now it’s nearly impossible and the crazy bold ones who do manage to slip by, garner a headline.
I didn’t know about that. I guess it’s to be expected, though.
