Man Found Sleeping on Empty Delta Aircraft

Dec 20th, 2006 | By Jared Blank

In the continuing farce of airport security…

A man was found sleeping on a Delta 737 in Raleigh airport yesterday morning before the flight was boarded. I’m glad security was focused on keeping bottled water off the aircraft, while keeping no eye on a guy sleeping on an airplane. Well done!

Not to mention making a certain 89 year old passenger remove his shoes in the interest of security. I feel safer already.

In the process, he learned about the vacuum power of airplane toilets, as is evidenced [...]
