A woman, Svetlana Dali, 57, was caught as a stowaway on a New York-to-Paris flight last month. Prosecutors revealed she had previously attempted to sneak into secure areas at U.S. airports to travel without a ticket. Dali was released on bail with strict conditions, including electronic monitoring and a ban from all airports. She must live with a church acquaintance and undergo mental health treatment. Dali managed to board the Delta flight by hiding among crew members and avoiding ticket checks. Delta stated its security measures were sound but acknowledged a deviation from standard procedures allowed the breach.
