Subject: Boy boards plane without tickets.
Written By: Philip Eno on 08/16/06 at 1:04 am
An investigation has been launched after a 12-year-old boy managed to board a plane at Gatwick without tickets during the security alert.
The boy, reported to be from Penrith in Cumbria, but thought to have run away from a care home in Birkenhead, Merseyside, was heading to Lisbon.
He was discovered on Monday's 0600 BST Monarch flight before it took off.
Security officers and Sussex Police were informed after cabin crew found the boy on the plane.
A statement from Gatwick Airport said although the child had passed through a full security screening process, it was "confident that there was no threat to passengers, staff or the aircraft at any time".
"A full investigation is now under way," it said.

Crazy. Apparently he also boarded a train without a ticket to get to the airport. And this isn't the first time he's done stuff like this, either. :o
I think we have a little escape artist on our hands.

You know this happened once to a boy named Kevin McCallister. He was supposed to go to Florida and ended up in New York City.

instead of "investigating" -- since they're demonstrating they suck at that -- they should just hire that kid.
