They check at the gate and not at security. I know there are others. I also know that at SFO they check at security and not at the gate. |

Well, it's certainly illegal to run away to keep from being arrested; but the original poster wasn't specific about why the unnamed friend wanted to fly anonymously. But it's not fraud, anyway; nolo defines fraud as: Intentionally deceiving another person and causing her to suffer a loss. (http://www.nolo.com/lawcenter/dictio...035785/alpha/F) Adopting an alias without the intention to cause someone to suffer a loss isn't fraud. There was a Nevada case where a blackjack player used a foreign passport, so that the casino would not have a record of how much he won (Nevada casinos routinely refuse to do business with competent gamblers). The casino realized the passport was not valid, and tried to confiscate the player's money (both his winnings and his original stake), claiming fraud. The Nevada Supreme Court ruled that it was not fraudulent for the player to provide ID in a name not his own, and ordered the casino to return the money to him.

To be specific, the person is a minor who wants to run away to live with someone else. The person is 15 so they dont need to be escourted or anything and the airplines treat the person as a adult. This explanation would come under the category of using an assumed name to avoid detection from law enforcement. That might be illegal. Of course, since he would be trying to hide from law enforcement, as you posted originally, that might not be such a big deal to him. Would it not be better for him to work out the issues with his parents in a legal manner. He could possibly get a guardian ad litem at no cost. The Guardian represents his interest in court. Yeah, I know....tooo much TV watching here.... but there are really Guardians. For instance, here is a link to a program in Florida. http://www.guardianadlitem.org/ |

The person is 15 so they dont need to be escourted or anything and the airplines treat the person as a adult. The person the minor will be living with is probably asking for trouble. At the least, custodial interference. And the minor will probably not see things end up the way s/he wants them, either. Is there someone that the minor trusts, that others involved respect enough to allow a negotiated settlement? If this is a teenage girl wanting to live with her father, her mother probably should let her try it; she'll soon find out that it's not quite what she was expecting. -- Randy Hudson |
