CHICAGO — A woman with a history of sneaking onto planes without a ticket has been caught yet again — though not before flying all the way across the pond.<br /><br />The Chicago Tribune reports that serial stowaway Marilyn Hartman has been arrested several times since 2014 for attempting to hitch free plane rides.<br /><br />In her latest stunt, the 66-year-old hid behind her hair and snuck past two TSA agents who were checking boarding passes at Chicago's O'Hare airport.<br /><br />She tried to board a plane to Connecticut, but was turned away by the gate agent.<br />Undeterred, Hartman took a shuttle to the international terminal, where she stayed overnight.<br /><br />The next morning, she blended in with a large group of passengers and successfully got past a gate agent and a CBP officer, making it onto a flight bound for London.<br /><br />The crafty criminal initially hid in the plane's bathroom, but later walked out and found an empty seat. She eventually was busted at Heathrow when she was unable to present a passport.<br /><br />Hartman was put on a flight and sent straight back to Chicago. She's now being held on a $25,000 bond, and has to wear an ankle monitor to keep her away from any airports.
