Federal authorities are searching for a flight attendant they say bolted from a security screening at Los Angeles International Airport, leaving behind about 70 pounds of cocaine stashed in her luggage—and her Gucci heels.

How does this happen under the nose of the TSA? AS a non-industry person, are not flight crews subject to MANDATORY inspections, not random checks? What is going on? 60 pounds of blow is a Death sentence for a lot of addicted Americans. But what if? 60 pounds of plastic explosive or two innocuous chemicals mixed in flight?
Scary stuff as a passenger who already feels like the 'SAFER THAN DRIVING" mystique is fading......

Random my foot. Somebody was tipped off. Flight attendant with Gucci shoes? Let me guess, Dior handbag? Armani coat...?

Kind of depressing that a flight attendant without shoes can outrun and evade security at LAX.

No flights from LAX to LGA. I guess they meant JFK. You have love NBC for their always accurate and well researched stories.

Name of person? Airline? US Airline? What language was she speaking? Was flt delayed? Great news piece! Basically the headline covered everything.
