Fake boarding pass lets Houston man slip onto United flight, delaying LA-bound trip

A 25-year-old Houston man used a fraudulent boarding pass to bypass TSA screening at George Bush Intercontinental and board United Flight 469 to Los Angeles; the flight had begun taxiing when crew discovered he was not on the manifest, the plane returned to the gate, passengers were removed, and law enforcement searched the aircraft, delaying the flight by about three hours. Oriyomi Abdulrahman Oluwatumike Oriyomi faces a felony charge for impairing or interrupting operation of a critical infrastructure facility, with investigators reviewing how security lapses allowed the breach.
