Boy sneaks onto flight. Who looks childish? #tellusatoday
We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought about a 9-year-old sneaking onto a Delta flight from Minneapolis to Las Vegas. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:
How did the kid get past security in the first place? The Transportation Security Administration deserves all the blame.

A 9-year-old boarding a flight without a boarding pass scares me. I'm a crewmember. Who else could get on a plane like that?
— @bkieck
Everyone dropped the ball on this one, from the parents to the airline employees.
— @arounddawaygurl
Well, that kid is going to have one awesome story to tell when he's older. That story ain't staying in Vegas.
— @alexnedd2
The boy had obviously planned thistrip out very well. That's quite a feat for a 9-year-old.
— @xtallyp
This incident reflects failure by the parents, the TSA and the airline. The boy is a clever and mischievous kid.
— @Metry_Girl
I think parents need to be more responsible for their children, and the TSA and Delta need to check their security.
— @mzeka1963
Give the kid credit for making the system look childish.
