Passenger Boards American Airlines Flight Without Ticket or ID, Bypassing Security Checkpoint

TL;DR Summary
A woman managed to walk through an empty security checkpoint at Nashville International Airport and board an American Airlines flight to Los Angeles without a ticket, raising questions about TSA's security measures. The TSA claims the passenger was screened before boarding, but this incident follows a similar security breach at London Heathrow Airport in December. The need for effective airport security is evident, especially with recent instances of loaded guns being found in carry-on luggage, prompting concerns about the effectiveness of current security technology.
