JAKARTA - A passenger without flight tickets for the Delta Air Lines to Paris passes the John F. Kennedy International Airport boarding pass in New York.

The dark passenger was a woman on the Delta No. 264 to Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Based on a viral video on social media quoted by CBN News, Friday, November 29, the plane captain spoke with the intercom after landing in Paris telling passengers to be patient out waiting for the police to arrive.

"We are waiting for the police to arrive, they may be here by now. The police have directed us to detain everyone on the plane until they clear up additional passengers on the plane," said the captain in a viral video uploaded by one of the passengers.

The dark passenger is known to be a flight attendant who saw the perpetrator during Tuesday's flight and often entered the toilet of the Boeing 767-400ER type aircraft.

A source from the United States (US) Transportation Security Agency (TSA) explained that the perpetrators passed a body scanner with advanced imaging technology on the boarding pass of Badminton Airport.

Furthermore, he said, somehow the perpetrator avoided checking documents and identities which were TSA processes. However, the perpetrator's bag was checked to avoid prohibited items. Then the perpetrator went to the gate and sneaked into the plane.

Separately, a TSA spokesman whose name was kept secret confirmed the perpetrator without a boarding pass was physically inspected without any prohibited items. "The individuals passed through two identity verification posts and boarding status and boarded the plane," he said.

TSA ensured that the incident that occurred at one of these checkpoints would be seriously traced by deploying an investigation team. TSA also admitted that it would review the travel document inspection post atair Airport.
