Amid the Thanksgiving travel rush, a female stowaway was discovered onboard a Delta Air Lines flight from New York City to Paris on Tuesday night. The woman managed to bypass security checks and gate agents at JFK Airport, boarding the international flight without a boarding pass or identification. She reportedly switched between toilets during the flight to avoid detection and was discovered when the plane was about to land in Paris. Delta Air Lines and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are investigating how she evaded multiple identity verification and boarding status stations. The incident raises concerns about airport security protocols during one of the busiest travel periods.
