(CNN) -- A flight to America's adult playground, Las Vegas, had an unusual passenger last week: a 9-year-old boy traveling on his own, apparently without a ticket

Obviously this child saw Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and wanted to take his Talk Boy to the Bellagio and screw with Tim Curry.

Ikr? That was my first thought, lolol.

ETA: My second thought is: Did American Airlines catch any flak (no pun intended, obviously) from their association with the Home Alone movies? Because I have a feeling Delta Airlines is gonna get serious bad press over this, along with TSA and whoever else was involved in this.

And my third thought is: In b4 Republicans blame this on Obama and the shutdown.

NGL, I had the same thought.

This shouldn't be a huge mystery, should it. Don't they have video surveillance of every.square,inch of these airports?

I would think they could see who and how he was let on in about 15 minutes of the discovery.

I'm sure they're reviewing it now to see how bad it makes them look before they release it to the public.

Yes, this. They need to frame it so that he was super sneaky rather than that employees were snoozing on the job.
