In interesting news, an infraction has been made while flying. Multiple times.... A woman accused of sneaking onto a flight to London this month was arrested AGAIN  on Sunday at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, authorities said. This woman was Marilyn Hartman who was arrested on charges of misdemeanor criminal trespass and violation of bail bond, Chicago Police said. Now she's back in a Cook County jail, just three days after she was released. The 66-year-old would repeatedly sneak onto flights and therefore she earned her the nickname "serial stowaway." Most recently, she succeeded in traveling from Chicago to London without a passport or boarding pass, according to Chicago Police. On January 14, she made it through O'Hare security and onto a flight bound for Heathrow Airport, Chicago Police said. British Customs officials detained her at Heathrow on January 15. She returned to O'Hare on January 18 and was arrested on the spot. Hartman left jail on Thursday after a judge reduced her bond and dropped an electronic monitoring requirement, according to CNN artman's public defender, According to police, she lives at an address in Grayslake listed as low-income housing for senior citizens. As a condition of her release, Hartman was ordered to stay away from O'Hare and Chicago Midway Airport and undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Then it happened again. Around 1:25 a.m. Sunday, Chicago Police officers responded to a call at O'Hare of a woman refusing to leave, the department said. Officers searched the airport and found a woman they later identified as Hartman in Terminal 3. Reporters who have followed her arrests said the success of her evasive maneuvers depends on her ability to blend into a crowd as a seemingly harmless, elderly white woman. She employs tactics like ducking under ropes, keeping her head down, piggybacking on small groups, and using other passengers' discarded boarding passes, according to reporters last week.  I believe this is an interesting story, as it is minor enough to where she was not harming anyone, but major towards the fact she is going against multiple customs and rules of flight. No one ever suspected her, until now, and it is interesting how this situation is happening.  As a quote from a citizen says,  "She just wants to fly. Period. And she'll try again, and again, and again, until she's grounded. For good."
