    Minneapolis boy, 9, sneaks onto flight, makes it to Las Vegas

    Unlikeliest Vegas trip ever.

    A 9-year-old Minneapolis boy slipped through a wall of post-Sept. 11 airport security and onto a Delta Airlines flight to Las Vegas last week, officials said. He was alone and had no ticket.

    The boy's successful venture Thursday appeared to be his second attempt in two days to bluff his way into the airport.

    A day earlier, on Wednesday, he had taken the light rail to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, stole a stranger's bag off the baggage carousel, ordered a meal at a pre-security airport restaurant, and then ran away without paying after telling the wait staff he was going to the bathroom, airport spokesman Patrick Hogan told the Los Angeles Times.

    The wait staff called airport police after noticing the unattended bag, which was then returned to its owner, Hogan said.

    The next day, the boy got even bolder.

    Arriving in the morning on the light rail again, the boy went to the security checkpoint -- which didn't require photo IDs from children -- and passed through the screening process while pretending to be part of a family that was passing through at the same time, Hogan said.

    Yup, this is crazy. Reminds me of something a while back of when an autistic kid somehow ended up on a flight to Italy whilst looking for a toliet and wasn't even aware that he was getting on a flight...

    Thankfully, no crazy nutjob terrorist has decided to strap a bomb to a kid, who probably doesn't attract much attention at security.
