To that bottom comment in the picture. You'd be amazed at how incompetent the TSA and other security staff can be at most airports.
I don't know if this is still accurate, but the TSA failed their surprise tests over 90% of the time.
They didn't stop the shoe bomber or the underwear bomber either. There's a term for what they are, "security theater". They make it look like they're doing something to protect you, when really all their doing is stealing whatever they can get away with stealing and fingering people's buttholes as often as possible.
it could and did happen. I remember reading about 6 year old kid getting lost at the airport gate (i think it was in germany) only to be discovered when they finally looked for their parents in italy. just went away while parents were preoccupied with something else and looked like someone else's kid while boarding the plane. as a parent travelling with small kid I can totally see that happening anywhere - kids can just walk anywhere with no questions asked as long as they are next to an adult who looks like they could be their parent.
Some creep stalker followed a family onto the wrong plane in DC just a couple of weeks ago
