According to a recent security report, in early November a Russian-lsraeli dual national was able to fly from Copenhagen to Los Angeles with Scandinavian Airlines Systems without a passport, ticket, or visa,
The report states that when the man arrived into Los Angeles, officers discovered that he was not listed on the Scandinavian Airlines (flight SK931) or any other flight.
The suspect said he was confused, hadn't slept for three days and couldn’t remember how he got through airport security in Denmark, authorities say.
An investigation is currently ongoing.
The incident has brought a spotlight on security at SAS and Copenhagen
The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for Central California by FBI Special Agent Caroline A. Walling, said the passenger committed the offense of being a stowaway on an aircraft, a crime that carries a potential jail sentence of up to five years.
When he was questioned by CBP officers, his bag was searched and found to contain Russian ID cards and an Israeli ID card but no passport, authorities said.
