A Houston man is facing a felony charge after authorities say he used a fraudulent boarding pass to board a United Airlines flight at George Bush Intercontinental Airport before the aircraft was forced to return to the gate, according to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Abdulrahman Oluwatumike Oriyomi, 25, has been charged with impairing or interrupting the operation of a critical infrastructure facility in connection with the May 18 incident, according to a criminal complaint filed in Harris County.

Prosecutors later sought a $25,000 bond, arguing that the alleged incident delayed a flight carrying a full plane of passengers for approximately three hours and prompted responses from multiple agencies, including the Houston Police Department, the FBI, Houston Airports and the Transportation Security Administration.

I’m thinking that pass would not pass a scan. Probably slipped into the line and some discrepancy in seating was discovered once the doors were closed.

The scanner response was either a Green Light or a Red Light. Nobody who gets a Red Light response passes through the door to the ramp. (IOW, nobody "slips into line".)

I suspect there is more to this story that we haven't heard yet.

>joe biden was the most inept, retarded and corrupt president in history and deliberately brought tens of millions of the world’s turd world trash here. He secreted them into swing states to corrupt our elections in perpetuity.

Correction - the people *running* Joe Biden, and controlling the auto-pen, did that, presumably Obama and his lieutenants like VajJar and Susan Rice. And who knows who above them.

Dementia Joe might have been choosing the flavor of pudding he got for dessert.
