US: A woman called the ‘serial stowaway’ sneaked past airport security

A woman notorious for stowing away on commercial airplanes made it past two TSA agents at O'Hare International Airport by hiding her face with her hair, and then stayed overnight at the airport before sneaking onto a plane and flying to London, prosecutors said Saturday. Marilyn Hartman, 66, faces a felony theft charge in connection with flying to the United Kingdom on a British Airways jet without a $2,400 ticket and a misdemeanour trespass charge in connection with getting into the airport illegally. At a hearing Saturday afternoon, a judge ordered her released on her own recognisance, but ordered her to undergo psychological treatment and stay away from O'Hare and any BA planes. This was Hartman's first arrest in Chicago since 2016, but she has a long history of trying to sneak onto airplanes.<br/>
