A toddler did make their own attempt at it last week at the Spirit check-in area. CNN managed to get video of the behind the scenes

I know. That's what made me think of this.
......and for the third crazy thing to do in ATL, someone could try shipping self or kid as a pet (checked bag or cargo) if an ESA vest doesn't result in a free flight for the human pet.

I recall the kid fractured his hand and got some scrapes and bruises.
I'm sure the TSA personnel woke up fast in the bowels of the airport when that toddler popped out!

Early reports said that the kid had a bruised or swollen hand.

I'm embarrassed to say this happened to me in DEN. Forgot to get off at Concourse C because I was texting something furious. The train just kept going for a bit, stopped for about a minute, then went back to Concourse C on the other side. I'm guessing ATL is the same.

Why didn't his wife drop off a nickel with his lunch on the first day she brought him lunch? Or a quarter?
Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square station
And he changed for Jamaica Plain
When he got there the conductor told him, "one more nickel"
Charlie couldn't get off of that train!
[...]
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scollay Square station
Every day at quarter past two
And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich
As the train comes rumbling through!
