Wrong Flight on Wrong Airline (Otherwise, Trip Went Well) - UPDATE

Further proof of the failures of security theater...

Kathleen McGrory writes in The Miami Herald:

As the plane rolled down the runway, one passenger was bewildered when a flight attendant welcomed travelers aboard the Milwaukee-bound flight.

Milwaukee!?

He thought he was going to New York.

Turns out, he had accidentally boarded the wrong flight -- on the wrong airline.

And in today's post-9/11 climate, that's the sort of thing that can cause airport security to break out in hives.
