The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office operates the largest prison/jail system in the world.
With the ongoing financial problems of the state of California, the overcrowding of local jail systems will continue to get worse. The general public really has no clue truly how bad it is.

In an effort to get at least somewhat back on-topic, do we know if/how this ol' gal has (or will) find her way back to the Bay Area?

Have you watched any of the video interviews of her? If not you may want to consider doing so.
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.

I'm still surprised that TSA would fine Southwest and aparently not diciplie their ow employees.

I'm not sure what (if any) theTSA issue is, they aren't saying, and I'm not going to speculate.

I had a out-and-back trip once on another airline. Due to the time of day, the mobile pass it was giving me was the return trip... It was a mobile pass, and I was unable to retrieve the correct one (outbound). Despite scanning it and being the erroneous one, it was just "hey, wrong BP buddy" and nothing more said about it.

Why? If the airline does a 100% match between boarding passes and passengers (what I've read was she snuck on with a family) and does an accurate count there is no issue. Somebody got sloppy.

As for the TSA, she could have done a couple things. Created a forged boarding pass without a PRE barcode, so that BP wouldn't validated by barcode, or could have even bought a valid ticket to get the BP issued, but then cancelled the ticket.

New reports said she didn't have a boarding pass and sneaked by the checker.

Local jail overcrowding is in part caused by federal court orders limiting the number of state prison inmates, with the result that lower-level prisoners are serving time in county jails, leading to less room for people like our friend.

I have seen some FAs using a device similar to http://www.trait-tech.com/product/T-...ng-device.html this. One head, one press. Goes very quick. Can't miscount.

And why would this order / warning be any different than the others? Unless she got roughed up in jail and maybe got some sense beat into her...
