Expired boarding pass (from the day before).
Boarding pass was in another person's name.
School ID (with a different name than the boarding pass) is from 2004-6, and not even a driver's license, state/country ID, nor passport.
What the heck happened here with the supposed TSA "screening checkpoint"?? And with the airline gate attendant(s), who take the tickets upon boarding?
A Nigerian man boarded a Virgin America airplane last week with an invalid boarding pass — making it through a federal security checkpoint where travelers must show identification and their boarding passes.
After the man, Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi, got through security, the airline let him onto the plane even though his boarding pass was for a flight the day before, according to the FBI.
Mid-flight from New York to Los Angeles, a flight attendant noticed Noibi was sitting in a seat that was supposed to be vacant. Noibi showed the attendant the expired boarding pass that was in someone else’s name, and then showed him a University of Michigan identification card with his picture on it.
University of Michigan spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham said that Noibi is not a current student, but was enrolled as an engineering student at the Ann Arbor university between 2004 and 2006.
