9-year-old runaway takes airline for a ride

By Michael Grabell

The Dallas Morning News

(MCT)

DALLAS - A 9-year-old boy was so determined to return to his former
home in Dallas that he ran away, talked his way onto a Southwest
Airlines flight from Seattle and changed planes in Phoenix before being
caught during a layover in San Antonio.

The case raises questions about how airlines and airport security
ensure that passengers are who they say they are, and how a child could
travel so far unattended before being stopped.

Semaj Booker's cross-country adventure began Sunday evening when he
stole a car near his suburban Tacoma, Wash., home and led police on a
90-mph highway chase to Seattle, police said. He dodged a set of spike
strips before the engine blew out and the 1986 Acura coasted into a
tree.
