Probably fits better in the Sth Asia Forum, but given the discussion about safety and so on post the Northwest attempt... :uhoh:

The Indian stowaway who hid in a toilet on an Air India Haj charter flight carrying 273 passengers from Saudi Arabia was on Sunday booked under the Passport Act while the airline said the crew did not see him as a 'security threat'.

In a major security breach, 25-year-old Habib Hussain sneaked into the Jaipur-bound plane at Medina and hid into the toilet. His presence came to light about half an hour after the flight took off from Medina when a passenger went to the toilet. The aircraft arrived in Jaipur on Friday night.

See where the flight originated.

Even bad guys follow the rule "don't s@#T where you eat".
