- NEW YORK: The Transportation Security Administration says it is trying to determine how a man slipped past authorities and boarded a flight with a stolen boarding pass at New York’s Kennedy airport.
Ronald Wong was charged with trespassing after a flight attendant noticed him standing at the rear of a Delta airliner preparing to leave for San Francisco on Feb. 24.
Wong told police he took another passenger’s boarding pass at the JFK ticket counter.
TSA agents are supposed to check boarding passes against passengers’ IDs. TSA said its agents screened Wong’s baggage at the security checkpoint, but he somehow slipped past the ID-checking station.
