Missing teen with autism goes through TSA PreCheck at OIA with just airline drink coupon, no ID

https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/po...k-coupon-no-idORLANDO, Fla. - FOX 35 News is investigating and learning more information about a missing 15-year-old girl with autism from Apopka that was found at the Orlando International Airport on Friday.

Police said that 15-year-old Sade Subbs was reported missing on Friday. After hours of searching, she was located at the Orlando International Airport. According to an Orlando Police Department report obtained by FOX 35 News on Monday, she was found by an airline employee wandering around Southwest Airlines Gate 128.

When asked if she needed help finding her gate, the report said that Subbs handed the airline employee a Southwest Airlines drink coupon. However, when the employee ran the coupon, she discovered that the passenger it belonged to had boarded an earlier flight.

Orlando Police were called in at that point. The responding officer noted in his report that when he saw Subbs, he immediately recognized her as the missing teenager from Apopka. When asked how she got through Transportation Security Administration security, “Subbs stated she found the drink coupon on the floor, utilizing it, as she passed through TSA PreCheck."

Snip......

Yet when I go through our double super secret squirrel access I now have to be in uniform, show 3 forms of ID, a breathalyzer test, a blood test, stand on one leg, while hopping, and reciting the bill of rights backwards, blindfolded. And get tested on what the waitress was wearing at a restaurant I went to dinner at when I was 3 years old. And still get random checked because it was my time. And the last three times before that.

But this kid used a drink coupon to get through the normal cattle, I mean, passenger screening that the common public uses?
