I wanted to post this earlier, but apparently a kid did the following. (what not listed here is that the boy evaded police in a high-speed chase, he ditched the car blew its engine, and somehow ended up in an airport and was ready to board a plane)

LAKEWOOD, WASHINGTON -- A 9-year-old boy with a history of stealing cars and running away sneaked onto a plane bound for Texas, getting caught after flubbing an airport connection, officials said.

Semaj Booker apparently obtained a Southwest Airlines boarding card and made it through airport security Monday, hopping two flights but landing in San Antonio--short of his Dallas destination, police said. The 4th grader had been trying to get to his grandfather in Dallas, where he used to live.

Airline employees in San Antonio stopped Semaj from boarding another flight when he couldn't explain why he didn't have a boarding pass for that flight.

Hopefully a stint in juvenile detention. He needs supervision...apparently supervision mama cannot or will not provide. I saw her interviewed on TV and she appeared to be totally clueless.
