New surveillance video of man catching a flight without ticket 

1) This DEFINITELY wasn't his first time doing this 2) Had the plane not been fully booked, he would have 100% gotten away with it

He looks so casual. He's done it before for sure.

Clearly, not everyone who shakes your hand with a smile has good intentions.

From the video, the person on his right noticed him taking a picture yet did nothing.

He's con artist, dude smiles and shakes hands with passengers who he stolen their indenties from.

"Just made a mistake and wants to go home". The cry of every criminal when caught.

This why im always cautious of random people coming up to me trying to start conversation. Especially if they are asking me questions about where im from, where im going... Why is a stranger asking me this?

"Florizard" sounds like a Pokemon name

His every move was very calculated.

That wasn’t a “mistake”. That was a CHOICE.

He’s done this more than once. Investigators should track down all his flights to see how many times before he’s done it. Although logistically impossible due to camera recordings and how long they are kept, I’m sure he’s done it before.

This is the kind of sneaky snake you DO NOT want to have as a friend.

That’s no mistake, it was deliberate and calculating. Not a mental health issue.

He didn't make a mistake, he made a decision to steal someone else's pass to get a free ride.

How is this possible? Before you go through TSA, you have to show your ticket with you ID and they verify it.

Plane rides are not even that expensive usually. Especially domestically. Thats crazy and sad:(.

This is not a mental health issue. Do not put everything on that! He did something criminal. No need to assess his mental state. He knew what he was doing. This is not someone going through a mental breakdown or crisis. This is someone who took time to think about a criminal plan to steal someone’s ticket and therefore money.

He steals his ticket then shakes his hand. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mental health for that?

So, you're saying me and a friend can board on the same ticket as long as the flight isn't fully booked? Good to know.

Mental health evaluation? He is a criminal. He knew exactly what he was doing. He stole someone’s ticket information.

See him smiling and being everybody's friend? Gaining their confidence. That's where the "con" in conman comes from.

Happened to me, i was in a hurry 3 mins before missing the bus… i asked an enployee and told me that bus is yours i went in and there were already ppl in my seat i talked to the bus driver and said this is not your bus is that one over there i went running and went in i sat down and heard that the bus was going to another destination 😂😂😂 finally i asked another employee and she told me its this one hurry up… what is amazing is that every time i took the bus the one in charge of checking tickets didnt care and let me go

Lots of " MISTAKES " going on. Thanks for the heads up.

He should be on a NO FLY LIST permanently

This is also a moral lesson to all. Don't take out your boarding pass for everyone to see, until you're at the boarding gate.

That was no mistake. Him smiling and shaking people’s hands, he’s probably had a history of conning people.

Mission passed! Respect +

Every rule, safety measure, hoop we have today to jump through is the result of someone somewhere having exploited a loophole. Imagine how simple our lives would be if people were honest at all times and in all places.

Person in the blue hoodie clearly saw him taking the pictures😂

“& I would’ve gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those meddling kids” 😭😂

Bravo!

He should have a felony conviction on his record. How scary.

Im confused. I thought you had to show your ticket prior to getting through TSA.

Giving “passport bro” a whole new meaning 😂😂😂

Wow thats crazy

So many crooked people 😡😡😡

How did the real passenger let on board even when the system said someone already used her ticket. Shouldn’t that raised a flag to stop and look for the guy who stole on board instead of continuing boarding? The plane should’ve emptied to find who used the ticket. You can’t have two people using the same ticket. That’s a major mistake.

They didn't reveal how he made it past security check upon entering the airport. Don't you need a ticket/ID to get to the gate? Was there a security snafu at SLC?

say goodbye to being able to use your phone as a boarding pass lol

I have a feeling he's done this before and got away with it. And if this plane had not been full, he may have gotten away with it again.

Dude knew what he was doing

There were a couple on my flight from San Antonio to Dulles the other day

0:45 “took photos of multiple passenger phones” - should be “boarding passes” not “phones”

How many times has he done crap like this and now he’s finally caught! He will be in jail for a few hours

Mental Health Issue is when someone comes to the airport and asks where the garden center is, to buy some Landscape Timber, to make a Raised Garden Bed! Not when he plays ‘Catch Me If You Can’.

Yes

he should never be allowed to fly again

So, basically, he was only caught because the flight was full, he was in the bathroom during everyone else's boarding, and when he returned to "his" seat it was taken (by the correct passenger). Thankfully the flight attendant was the smart one here to get the plane back to the gate. Also, this is a huge advantage to assigned seating. If this were Southwest and the flight wasn't full, nothing would have happened and he took a flight on the wrong plane.

This man has a record of criminality. You don't suddenly develop this level of deception overnight.

Man watched a lot of Lupin

Unbelievable

Thats scary. So if the flight wasn't full would they have known he was there?

Here in Canada we have a novel idea, we show our ID along with our boarding pass. 🥴

Yoo that’s wild idk how people haven’t been caught doing that b4

The system worked as designed, the gate agent should’ve shut boarding down to investigate after the lady scanned was supposedly already on. That’s so basic.

How the heck is that possible post 911?

What a friendly chap , shaking hands with everyone and a lovely big smile too.

THE NERVE THE AUDACITY!!!🫥🙄🫨

When I'm in a public place, I always act as if there is a surveillance camera that can zoom in to see my phone so I'm mindful of what I have out in the open.

This is wild and clever at the same time.

what a criminal mind! hope he goes to jail!

So bad.

Man, that was sickening to me. What a thief.

At this point I feel like you shouldn't use a picture of the boarding pass. Go back to physical passes and have security on them so that they are not misidentified.

Looked like the guy was holding it up for him!

Wow 😮

The power of technology. This is scary.

mental health evaluation lol, yeah right

At least he didn’t get through TSA with a weapon

I find this type of resiliency impressive to be honest.

00:47 "took photos of multiple passenger phones", looked like pics of boarding passes.

Mental health evaluation, huh? This guy knew PRECISELY what he was doing. PRECISELY.

This scam would of worked if he just checked with the airline desk to see if the flight was full lol

He gives Pokémons everywhere a bad name.

He needs to be rewarded for showing us how bad the ticket stuff is.

How did he get in and pass TSA that required boarding pass and ID?

In a rational world, he would be NO FLY for life!

Not sure how Delta’s system at the gate allowed a second person to board assigned with the identical seat??

Exactly why I never leave my ticket around faced up. You never know who’s watching. 🤔

All I ask is that you not be so click-baity. Your title literally says "without a ticket" yet he got on the plane using someone else's ticket. That's strictly using a ticket.

Metal health evaluation 😂 the guy is playing cat and mouse.

This was literally a human error, where the agent let the second person board, even though the system told him that they had already boarded, thinking it was a glitch.

Imagine if he applied himself in college, instead of being a scam artist!

Their mentality won't change.

Perfect guy to run for office lol

He’s a criminal!

There was an old lady doing this for years, reusing old tickets! A decade ago!😮

Thats crazy. You never can tell people's true intent

He skills and experience are qualified to be a politician

For those concerned, this is NOT a security concern rather a boarding system issue. This individual exploited the lack of awareness in others to protect their private information.

It’s funny how they’re using “allegedly” when 1) it’s on video and 2) he confessed to doing it. 🤣🤷🏾‍♂️

It looked like the guy held his pass up so he could take a picture to me . 🤷‍♀️

That fool right next to him saw the guy take the pic too lol

In the words of Fred Sanford, "you big dummy!!"

He seemed pretty sane in the video. I read in another news article that the female passenger whose boarding pass he snapped a photo of was an unaccompanied minor. Makes even creepier.

Oh my gosh! Jail and ban him from flying. He could’ve gotten away with this before. Imagine if the flight was not full.

How did he pass TSA? That’s crazy

This report leaves out crucial info. Was he photographing the electronic phone boarding pass or paper one? The footage clearly shows him photographing a paper one. It’s seems unbelievable they’d accept a photo of a paper ticket or a photo of the electronic code would have enough resolution to work. Airline dropped the ball when they found out the real passenger was already checked in and didn’t deplane

His home should be going to jail.
