NY airport security screener arrested after boarding parents' plane without
ticket
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - A security screener at Kennedy International Airport trying to
see his parents off on a trip boarded their plane without a ticket or a
boarding pass and was arrested, authorities said.
The man on Thursday boarded an Etihad Airways flight bound for the United
Arab Emirates, and when the plane's doors shut, he notified a flight
attendant, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey.
Port Authority police arrested the man on a misdemeanor charge of criminal
trespass, Coleman said. The man, who later was released, is a passenger and
baggage screener for the Transportation Security Administration, agency
spokeswoman Ann Davis said.
A telephone call to an airline spokesman was not immediately returned
Thursday night.
