Kids Take Joyride by Southwest Air to Nashville
2010-08-13
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Bored on a hot summer day, three Florida youngsters were just sitting around when one sent a text message to another with an adventurous idea.

''Hey do you want to go 2 Tennessee today,'' the message read.

''Sure,'' the other responded.

Not even old enough to get a driver's license, they took a taxi to the airport Tuesday, bought tickets with baby-sitting money and -- unbeknownst to their parents, the three (ages 15, 13 and 11) -- boarded a Southwest Airlines flight from Jacksonville to Nashville, according to a TV news account of the incident.

Nobody asked a question. Nobody asked for identification.
Looks like a few more holes in air travel security need to be plugged
