A US federal court charged a Russian national who stowed away on a flight from New York to Paris last week in a Brooklyn courtroom Thursday. Svetlana Dali, 57, was charged with being a stowaway on a vessel or aircraft without consent and could face up to five years in prison if convicted. She appeared in court Thursday afternoon and did not enter a plea. Dali’s attorney, Michael Schneider of the Brooklyn Federal Defenders, likened her offense to “turnstile hopping” and noted that she did pass security screening. The government and defense agreed to a temporary order of detention until 2 p.m. Friday so they can put together a bail package. The key issue is finding a suitable residence for her. Dali, who French authorities identified as the rogue passenger, was arrested by the FBI Wednesday upon her deportation to the US. Dali’s extraordinary journey has raised serious questions about airport security. Here’s what we know:
