Semaj Booker has done this before. He's a seasoned flight-hopper, and convicted criminal. He's been involved in a high-speed highway chase, and had previously cut a deal to keep his convictions from being on his record, which after this latest attempt at sneaking on a plane, will probably not happen. He had to stay out of trouble for 12mos, and only got to 9mos. But why is this interesting? Semaj is 10 years old.
His mother, Sakinah, seems to be playing dumb about the whole situation, saying only that Semaj is fearful of a sex offender living near his home. The TSA isn't much better clearly, considering that the boy slipped through security 3 times, and onto planes twice. This most recent time, he was apprehended on the ramp to board the plane. You'd think that if your child is so afraid of a sex offender, that he/she is breaking the law to the extent of having convictions on their record, that you would perhaps move if you couldn't make it clear to the child what their actions mean for their future. You'd also certainly hope that with all the stringent regulation with the TSA, that they would be able to stop one little kid from boarding a plane without a ticket once, let alone twice or almost 3 times.
So what's the moral of the story? uhhh.... you tell me, I've got nothing.
