A woman named Svetlana Dali managed to slip past security at JFK Airport and board a Delta flight to Paris without a ticket. This week, she was convicted as a stowaway—a rare and unsettling breach of airline security protocols.

Editor’s Note: This isn't just a wild travel hack—it's a glaring red flag for airport safety. If someone can sneak onto an international flight undetected, it raises serious questions about the gaps in security systems that are supposed to keep passengers safe. Airlines and authorities will likely face pressure to tighten procedures, especially with travel demand soaring post-pandemic.
