A 9-year-old runaway went through airport security and boarded a plane to Las Vegas without a ticket at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Newsday reports.
The boy was screened at the airport shortly after 10:30 a.m., October 3, and he boarded a Delta flight for Las Vegas. The flight was not full, and the flight crew became suspicious mid-flight because the boy was not on their list of unattended minors. They contacted Las Vegas police, who met them upon landing and transferred the boy to child protection services.
