(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File) Delta Air Lines is investigating an incident where an individual boarded a plane without a valid ticket. The man reportedly followed a family through Washington Dulles International Airport and even entered a women's restroom where the family was present. The family's encounter with the man took a turn when he boarded their flight and sat in their row. Lauren Benton recounted to ABC News that her husband spoke to the man, who was unable to provide a flight attendant with a boarding pass when it was requested. The man was removed from the plane. The Transportation Security Administration confirmed that the man had a valid ID and a boarding pass for a later flight, allowing him to pass through the checkpoint. Delta said in a statement that it has stringent processes for verifying passengers before departure but is reviewing this matter. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot.
