A 57-year-old Russian woman, Svetlana Dali, has been charged with secretly boarding a Delta flight from New York to Paris without a boarding pass. She was arrested by the FBI after returning to New York and made her first court appearance on Thursday. According to the criminal complaint, Dali attempted to hide in a Transportation Security Administration lane for airline employees before successfully sneaking onto the plane. Once on board, she flew to Charles de Gaulle Airport without presenting a boarding pass. Delta employees did not notice her absence until after the flight landed and notified French law enforcement. Dali has admitted to evading security officials and stated that her conduct was illegal. This incident raises concerns about individual attempts to evade security measures and the consequences of such actions.
