I imagine they got a list of thru passengers then asked for ID's. Simply really, especially if there only a handful of thrus.

I read in one of the articles on this she was caught trying to sneak on to a flight in Hawaii and got caught. No one has any idea how she got to Hawaii. Seems she was successful at least once.

My 2 kids & I once were the cause of a thru count being off (by 3). We had BP's for the next leg only because for some bizarre reason it was cheaper to book it that way. Twice I tried to bring it to the attention of the thru counter but she couldn't have cared less and exited the aircraft in a hurry saying the next crew would figure it out. I got word to the gate agent from the aircraft door, showed him some ID's and all was fixed...

Isn't this the second recent incident at SJC? Didn't the stowaway in the wheel well happen at SJC also?
Not looking good for my favorite airport
And more recently the check-in lines have been getting pretty bad for the 7am flights. They've revamped the lines now for TSA Pre there.

She was given early release from the Los Angeles County Central Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, California tonight due to overcrowding. She won't have to serve anymore of her 177 days...after just 3 days in jail.

She comes off as a lucid, articulate, sweet, apologetic old granny lady. She seems to have some strange persistent kink with regard to traveling without a ticket.
I'm not sure the solution is locking her up in the slammer, except for maybe the 3 days time served.

Great. Likely to be somebody else's problem real soon. Or perhaps an entire terminal's problem when she tries to sneak in through the TSA exit and LAX gets shut down for a entire afternoon for a "security breach".
Its a great system of "justice" we pay for out there... Not my problem how "sweet" or non threatening she appears, sooner or later its going to escalate into everyone's problem at tremendous cost. Court should just buy her a ticket to wherever the frig she wants to go, cheaper than jailing her or trying to prevent it from happening again!
