TSA says it has already made minor changes to the document-checking process at SJC. Following an initial review by TSA at San Jose International Airport, the agency has initiated minor modifications to the layout of the document checking area to prevent another incident like this one, TSA said in a statement.

Monday s arrest comes about three months after a South Bay teenager hid in the wheel well of a Hawaiian Airlines plane at San Jose International Airport. Officials say he jumped a fence at the airport and hitched a ride on a flight bound for Hawaii back in April. The 15-year-old survived sub-zero temperatures during the five-hour flight.
Passenger safety in the sky relies upon effective security on the ground. That means only a screened and ticketed passenger should ever be able to board an airplane. Yesterday's incident, of an unticketed passenger successfully taking a flight from San Jose to Los Angeles, was an apparent failure by both airport security and the airline of protecting passengers from a potential threat to their safety. Fortunately, this ticketless passenger was harmless. However, we may not be as lucky next time and must do everything possible to protect the traveling public.
