Stowaway Incident on Delta Flight From New York to Paris Causes Disturbance

A female stowaway, who sneaked onto a Delta flight from New York City to Paris by evading multiple security checkpoints at JFK Airport, has been identified as a Russian national. Once in flight, she created a disturbance on the return leg of the journey back to New York, prompting officials to remove her from the plane in Paris. The stowaway reportedly hid in the bathrooms during the flight to avoid detection. TSA is currently reviewing video footage from JFK as they prepare for her return to the U.S., where she could face charges. The incident raises serious questions about airport security protocols, as it highlights vulnerabilities that allowed the stowaway to board the international flight without a valid boarding pass.
