Boarding pass false spring gaff security last arrest - CBS News

(CBS News)

A Nigerian man is custody of the FBI in Los Angeles after the flight of JFK in New York to Los Angeles International Airport Airport without valid boarding pass and corresponding identification - the last episode which highlights the United States airport security holes.

The incident occurred last Friday, but the man, identified as Olajide Noibi, was originally released after questioning by the authorities. He was arrested on Wednesday, when the FBI agents are Noibi looking on a flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta - even with a boarding not valid. The FBI agents, said that a search of his bag discovered more than 10 other boarding cards in different names which were not.

Noibi was accused of being a stowaway on the flight from Virgin America 415, but he is not charged any terrorism or homeland security laws, sources told CBS News.

He apparently told investigators that he found an unused boarding and that he was able to introduce plane line. The FBI agents, said the boarding pass, with a different name, also was a day old, having been issued for a Virgin flight that flew Thursday from New York to Los Angeles.

TSA Airport control points are necessary to match boarding passes with passenger IDs, such as driving. That apparently did not happen in this case and TSA officials are investigating to find out how the forfeiture occurred.

After the flight was airborne, the crew counted an additional passenger. They located and interviewed Noibi and discovered the forgery of boarding, said sources.

TSA officials said that noibi never presented a threat to Virgin America 415. While it is mounted on the flight with an invalid pass, he still went through passenger screening to find weapons and explosives.

Law enforcement sources said CBS News there is no indication that noibi is related to a terrorist group or conspiracy. But the investigation is in its early days and officials who recognize that the breach of security is the last evidence tracking system still has holes.
