A 57-year-old woman with a Russian passport and a US green card sneaked past security at JFK Airport to board a Delta flight to Paris. She was later denied asylum in France and is being returned to the US. Upon landing in Paris, the woman was detained by French authorities after flight attendants noticed her moving between bathrooms during the flight. She will face multiple charges, including theft of service, upon her return to the US. Investigations are ongoing to determine how she evaded security checks. Delta Airlines is conducting an internal review but has not provided further details on the incident.
