Serial Stowaway: How She Evaded Airport Security
Police reports outline how the 66-year-old covered her face to avoid being recognized and the tactics she used to board a flight to London.
A newly obtained Chicago Police Department report details how serial stowaway Marilyn Hartman managed to sneak past security at O’Hare International Airport in January, and board a plane to London without a ticket or passport.
According to a police report obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, Hartman “slipped past TSA document checkers” at an O’Hare checkpoint around 2 p.m. on Jan. 14, “as both TSA agents were busy checking other passengers.”
