[ no idea which is right category for this so I leave it to the mods to decide ]

According to the BBC "An elderly Swedish woman tried to get herself on board an international flight by climbing onto an unmanned luggage belt after her suitcase."

Apparently she misunderstood the check in process.

But there is a serious side to this silly story. With all the security checks airports have -- and Arlanda is pretty strict -- how can someone get airside just by riding on an "unmanned luggage belt"?
