A female stowaway managed to board a Delta Air Lines flight from New York's JFK Airport to Paris without a boarding pass or identification, evading multiple security checkpoints during the Thanksgiving travel rush. The woman bypassed two identity verification and boarding status stations before boarding the plane, according to a TSA spokesperson. The incident has prompted investigations by both Delta Air Lines and the TSA into how the breach occurred. The stowaway was discovered on the flight, and upon arrival in Paris, was detained by French authorities before other passengers could disembark.
