Russian Man Flies to Los Angeles Without a Passport or Boarding Pass, Leading to FBI Investigation

He "...requested two meals during each meal service and attempted to eat the cabin crew's chocolate." :))

How can his happen. Amazing

Stephen Miller has confirmed, that if Trump is elected president, he will be a wall around the jet bridge that SAS uses at LAX and will make Denmark pay for it.

I don’t know . It’s very hard to believe that such incident can occur on an international flight towards the United States without the knowledge of Danish authorities.

I have not read a CBP report regarding this matter.
A stiff fine should be imposed on this Airline if this is the case .

No Matter of what Nationality, a security breach is a serious Matter.
How can an individual escape detection system, security passport checks ,enter the he aircraft, not be on the manifest and fail detection by the customer service?
All this without a passport?
This Airline and its employees should be responsible and retrained for security thoroughly.
The question is : who was this individual?
What is his background and why was he on that flight ?
What was the purpose behind this actions ?
What was he doing in Denmark?
Did he have any travel items on him ?
There some unanswered questions.

Must have had some funds for the Biden family!

Something fishy in Denmark!

Mistakes and oversights do happen. So it is not surprising to me that this happened.
The reports don't go into any kind of motive. Unclear whether he has some sort of mental problems.

He got a harsh treatment, spending so much time in jail (at our expense). As far as I am concerned, I would have just sent him back at SAS expense.

I worry far more about weirdo whitebread American terrorists (compared to some random stowaway dude) all decked out in their ninja warrior outfits with their leather ammo pouches, attendant peripherals, bug out bags, $39 sunglasses that cost $1.39 to manufacture but are hawked by some Aussie sounding dude from the outback so the gullible bubbas ordered an extra set by just paying for shipping…but then they complain about not being able to pay for groceries. These angry gullible men who apparently quit reading in the fifth grade are the real problem. Go figure.

Did anyone check to see that he wasn't deadheading in the third seat? Forgetting where you were for the last few days and eating magic mushrooms seemed to work for the Alaska pilot.

I used to know a retired service man, who using his brother's old uniform on military hops used to yearly attend Octoberfest, but maybe that's easier.

Why didnt he juat walk across the Rio Grande here in Texas? Then Biden would have given him FREE EVERYTHING33Just saying!

Hah, should have flown to Mexico and walked across.

The Terminal...

I doubt his intent was to enter US illegally, his behavior on the flight was too noticeable. If he had a plan to get on the plane illegally, he would have had a plan to get around customs and immigration on landing too. Hope we see the final report from FBI and FAA. Also, please talk up the wall on our southern border, I want to go into the ladder business in Tejuana.

My wife used to work at Manchester, NH (MHT). While she was there, several people deplaned thinking they were in Manchester, UK (MAN). Boarding passes said MAN on them, but gate crew in Newark, Charlotte, Philadelphia, or Houston, etc would have had to let them through. Once seated, they didn't conflict with someone else's confirmed seat? How? But it happened a couple of times a year. (2002-2006)

Other articles I have read said that he was an Israeli citizen but others say he just had Israeli "identification" so there is some confusion in that area. Given that he was said to be living in Germany I think it is unlikely that he entered the country with only a Russian passport so he must have had some other citizenship or maybe residency. Even transiting through Denmark without a non-Russian passport should not have been possible unless he somehow snuck across the border with Germany.

So Scandinavian Airlines has a diversity/inclusion employee problem too?

He could have flown instead to Mexico, become a Mexican crossing the boarder in Texas with no problem

No different from foreigners walking into USA through Southern Borders. Our sovereignty is gone.

I thought only our southern border was wide open? That'll teach me to think!

Yeah! Very very strange "incident". What kind of controls he passed?

i see the Security staff checking Boarding Pass and passport three times by the time we board, at gate, on the ramp to AC and at the aircraft gate as well... May be he sneaked as ground staff and stayed in...

This is only a test
This is only a test
Thank you for participating

Just when you feel that you have herd everything? then this turns up to rattle our security? Someone is going to lose their job and that's for sure,

"Hmmm, the only ID this guy has is an Israeli library card. Should we let him board?' 'No problem, the plane is going to LA, they can deal with him.'

Wrong definition of stowaway: a stowaway is someone who manages to get aboard an aircraft, watercraft, or vehicle without proper authorization, not someone who winds up in the "landing gear." For an airplane, it could be in the landing gear wells, or cargo or electronics compartments. Also, "flight crew" is traditionally used to denote the pilots, and the flight crew here cannot be blamed, as they were up front doing their jobs. It was the "cabin crew" (flight attendants and purser) who fell down on the job here.

Passports????? We don't need no stinking passports. (heard recently in El Paso).

Sergey, you magnificent bastard!

No passport and no boarding pass, so how and why did SAS employees even let him onto the aircraft in Denmark?

Oh Well, better build a wall then?
