She completed a full security screening before she boarded, the spokesperson said, meaning she didn’t have any prohibited items and didn’t pose a security threat.Dali tried to get into the security line, but a TSA agent rejected her from passing when she failed to show her boarding pass, the complaint said. Five minutes later, she successfully got in the security line by entering through a special lane for airline workers, the complaint said.“Delta agents, who were busy helping ticketed passengers board, did not stop her or ask her to present a boarding pass,” the complaint said.Delta employees learned Dali wasn’t supposed to be on the flight. They asked her for her boarding pass, which she couldn’t show, and then notified French law enforcement.French authorities detained her when the flight landed, the FBI complaint said. She was denied entry to the country because she didn’t have a valid travel document or visa, a spokesperson for France’s border police has said.When the FBI interviewed her, Dali admitted taking the flight without a boarding pass and acknowledged her actions were illegal, the complaint said.If convicted, Dali could face up to five years in prison, a fine or both.
