October 3, 2013 Minneapolis Aiport Boy Stowaway Flies To Las Vegas A 9 year boy gains national attention when he defeats TSA airport security and gets into a seat on a Las Vegas bound airplane. Crew figure out the unaccompanied minor does not have a ticket. Police take him into custody when he lands as a runaway, and they put a tracking band on him. He became violent and was hospitalized.

He had previously blended in with families to get into a water park, and had been arrested driving a stolen car. He has a history of incidents and lying to Child Protective Services and was seen the the previous day on a reconnaissance trip stealing luggage bag and ordering at a restaurant without paying. His mother works at the Minneapolis St Paul airport and is being investigated as to whether she helped him, and there are questions as to whether a person he claimed to be meeting in Las Vegas recruited him online and assisted in planning the mission. He is believed to be the driver of a stolen truck the week before which struck a police car and a parked Tahoe SUV.

9 year terrorist-in-training appears to be doing a dry run to see if a 9-year-old boy can successfully evade security and stowed away on a Minneapolis-to-Las Vegas Delta flight as well as crash into a police car without being arrested.

 unconnected incident: 1 injured April 20, 2014 Airliner Wheel Well Stowaway Wanted To Return To Somalia A Somali teenager Yahya Abdi jumped the fence at San Jose, California and stowed away in the wheel well of an airliner that flew to Hawaii,

 His father interviewed on camera in a hoodie, like the Korean ferry captain who apologized.

 .Updates
  • On Oct. 3, the day the boy hopped the flight, his father was home with him and his mother was at a doctor's appointment. The boy went outside to take out the trash and didn't return, his father said noting his son was home because he had been suspended from school. "We assumed he was at a friend's house."(friend is suspended too???)
  • The father said the "last time" his son was suspended, it was for getting into a fight at school, but he also noted his son was never violent at home.
  • "How would you let a 9-year-old child go through security check without stopping him and questioning him?" he asked. "He's not a terrorist. He's a 9-year-old child. He went through screening. He boarded the plane. How can that be?"
  • Let's start with the fact that the kid thought he was playing Grand Theft Auto. He's nine. He should not have that game in his home. The dad also thought he went to a friend's house and didn't check on that? Why would a friend also be home from school that day? The parents never filed a report? He also tried to steal a car and has tried to sneak into a water park. Why does he have so much freedom at age nine? What are his parents doing all this time that he's out roaming the streets? I have some help for the dad who is crying for it: step it up and act like adults who have a child to care for and stop being so neglectful. Spend time with your kid engaged in wholesome activities so he's not out doing whatever he wants.
  • Let me get this straight. The kid is suspended from school, yet going to a friends house is ok to do. Maybe if this kid had some consequences for his actions he wouldn't be getting in so much trouble. 
  • They THOUGHT he was with a friend so never looked for him TIL THE NEXT MORNING. Now they knew this kid was troubled yet they just didn't bother to keep him close by??? 
  • Nobody suspects the parents could be in on the dry run operation? Nothing else explains why the kid is testing how police react to a 9 yr old kid stealing a truck and hitting a parked car and SUV and taking a recon trip the day before. Who would / could recruit a 9 year old kid to see if he could slip through security? Nahhh, he's just an innocent kid with busy parents.

Child is almost certainly the driver of a stolen truck that damaged a police car and a parked Tahoe
 “An officer told me a  9-year-old juvenile was driving the vehicle that hit my car,” said Mike Spitzack, an operations analyst in the banking industry in downtown Minneapolis. “He said, ‘you’ll never believe it, but the kid that hit your car is also the kid that flew off to Las Vegas.’ I couldn’t believe it.”
A 9-year-old boy believed to have stowed away on a flight to Las Vegas last week was the same kid who stole a cube truck in downtown Minneapolis and led police on a chase through the city just days before, according to one of the victims of the escapade.

The story of a 9-year-old runaway from Minneapolis who snuck through airport security in the Twin Cities and made his way onto a Delta flight to Sin City got a bit murkier on Monday with the revelation that the boy may have been trying to meet someone he met online.
In a statement, a Delta spokeswoman said, "We commend the flight crew of Flight 1651, whose vigilance and awareness of the cabin led them to proactively alert authorities to the situation prior to the aircraft landing in Las Vegas."
Many have wondered why a 9-year-old would choose that destination, and on Monday, word emerged that he may have been trying to meet a person he met through an online video game.
Las Vegas police met the boy as he was disembarking, and he reportedly told officers he had met someone from Nevada online and was en route to visit
