A stowaway bypassed screening measures before being discovered on a flight from New York to Paris amid the Thanksgiving travel rush, authorities said Wednesday.
The unidentified woman was on Delta flight 264 from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris on Tuesday.
A source with knowledge of the incident told NBC News that she was removed from the aircraft by law enforcement after it landed in Paris.
The woman — who got on the flight without a ticket — bypassed two "identity verification and boarding status stations and boarded the aircraft," a spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement.
She completed a full security screening before boarding, the spokesperson said, meaning she did not have any prohibited items in tow and did not pose a security threat.
