Woman Says She Was “Just Testing Security” At Busy Illinois Airport

Airborne problems are continuing this year.

If 2016 was the year of creepy clowns in woods, 2025 is the year of airplane/airport problems. Chicago's Midway and O'Hare are no exceptions to this. A selection of the issues so far:

Midway: WATCH: Landing Plane Nearly Hits Jet At Busy Illinois Airport

O'Hare Coyote: Coyote Hit By Plane Leaving Illinois Airport In Weird Situation

O'Hare Lavatory Issue: Flight From Chicago O'Hare Forced To Return After Toilets Clogged

Lest we forget the cocaine found in wheelchair cushions and millions of dollars worth of fake designer watches sneaking in and the most confused DoorDasher at O'Hare.

Lady Tries 'Testing Security'

According to PEOPLE, a woman was arrested for stealing and driving an airport shuttle bus onto the taxiway at Chicago's Midway Airport.

She allegedly drove the car around in a circle before returning to the building. One witness said the woman held the hangar door open for her as the witness was pushing a food cart. Another witness said the suspect asked her if she could use the bathroom in the Signature hangar.

Once she was arrested around 4:30 a.m. and officers asked her why she did it, she said "I was just testing security". She noted to officers her history of mental health problems and was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

She's charged with felony criminal trespassing at an airport and 2 misdemeanor trespassing charges.

One weird thing: her alleged trespassing happened on the "secure" side of Midway, along Central Avenue. The area is surrounded by barbed wire fencing and has a security post for the entrance and exit of screened cars.
