A woman who snuck onto a Delta Air Lines flight from New York City to Paris earlier this week without a boarding pass was removed from a return flight Saturday after creating a disturbance prior to takeoff. CBS News has confirmed that the stowaway, whose name has not been released, created a disruption Saturday on Delta Flight No. 265, bound from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to John F. Kennedy International Airport. She was removed by French law enforcement, causing a delay of more than two hours before the flight's eventual departure. She will not be returned to the U.S. on Saturday and will remain in French custody for the time being, CBS News learned. French authorities had escorted her to the plane but were not traveling with her. She became disruptive while on board and police were called to remove her. The situation initially unfolded Tuesday, when the woman boarded Delta Flight No. 265 from JFK Airport to Paris without a boarding pass. The flight was not sold out, and she was discovered when a flight attendant became concerned that the woman was making frequent and lengthy visits to various lavatories aboard the Boeing 767-400ER, according to a source familiar with the incident. French police came aboard the plane after it landed and took her into custody. The French Ministry of the Interior only identified her as a Russian national. Passenger Rob Jackson, who shot video of French authorities coming onto the plane after it landed in Paris, told CBS News he noticed the flight attendants behaving oddly as the flight was descending. "I heard them saying, like, we have a passenger who we think was hiding in the lavatory during takeoff," Jackson said. "She does not have a seat. She did not have a boarding pass. And basically, she's a stowaway." A Transportation Security Administration source told CBS News that the woman went through an advanced imaging technology body scanner at a checkpoint in JFK Airport after somehow appearing to evade the document and ID check portion of the TSA process. Her bags were also scanned for prohibited items before she went to the gate and snuck onto the flight, the source said. A TSA spokesperson confirmed in a statement that the woman "without a boarding pass was physically screened without any prohibited items" and then "bypassed two identity verification and boarding status stations and boarded the aircraft." After getting through TSA security, it's unclear how exactly the woman boarded the plane without showing a boarding pass or passport to Delta staff. French law enforcement and the TSA are separately investigating. The woman could be subject to a civil penalty or fine for bypassing the document check process. Paris John F.

Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne about an hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop for the airline. The order, which prevented planes from taking off, was issued at the airline's request. The airline said in an email that the problem was caused by trouble with vendor technology that maintains its flight operating system. Dennis Tajer, a spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association, a union representing American Airlines pilots, said the airline told pilots at 7 a.m. Eastern that there was an outage affecting the system known as FOS. It handles different types of airline operations, including dispatch, flight planning, passenger boarding, as well as an airplane's weight and balance data, he said. Some components of FOS have gone down in the past, but a systemwide outage is rare, Tajer said. Flights were delayed across American's major hubs, with only 37% leaving on time, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics company. Out of the 3,901 domestic and international American Airlines flights scheduled for Tuesday, 19 were canceled. Cirium noted that the vast majority of flights departed within two hours of their scheduled departure time. A similar percentage — 36% — arrived at their destinations as scheduled. Meanwhile, the flight-tracking site FlightAware reported that 3,712 flights entering or leaving the U.S., or serving domestic destinations, were delayed Tuesday, with 55 flights canceled. It did not show any flights from American Airlines. Cirium said Dallas-Fort Worth, New York's Kennedy Airport and Charlotte, North Carolina, saw the greatest number of delays. Washington, Chicago and Miami experienced considerably fewer delays. Amid the travel problems, significant rain and snow were expected in the Pacific Northwest at least into Christmas Day. Showers and thunderstorms developed in the South. Freezing rain was reported in the Mid-Atlantic region near Baltimore and Washington, and snow fell in New York. Because the holiday travel period lasts weeks, airports and airlines typically have smaller peak days than they do during the rush around Thanksgiving, but the grind of one hectic day followed by another takes a toll on flight crews. Any hiccups — a winter storm or a computer outage — can snowball into massive disruptions. That is how Southwest Airlines stranded 2 million travelers in December 2022, and Delta Air Lines suffered a smaller but significant meltdown after a worldwide technology outage in July caused by a faulty software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations even more disruptive than during slower periods. That is especially true for smaller budget airlines that have fewer flights and fewer options for rebooking passengers. Only the largest airlines, including American, Delta and United, have "interline agreements" that let them put stranded customers on another carrier's flights. This will be the first holiday season since a Transportation Department rule took effect that requires airlines to give customers an automatic cash refund for a canceled or significantly delayed flight. Most air travelers were already eligible for refunds, but they often had to request them. Passengers still can ask to get rebooked, which is often a better option than a refund during peak travel periods. Finding a last-minute flight on another airline tends to be expensive. An American spokesperson said Tuesday was not a peak travel day for the airline — with about 2,000 fewer flights than the busiest days — so the airline had somewhat of a buffer to manage the delays. The groundings happened as millions of travelers were expected to fly over the next 10 days. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 40 million passengers through Jan. 2. Airlines expect to have their busiest days on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations more disruptive than during slower periods. Even with just a brief outage, the cancellations have a cascading effect that can take days to clear up. About 90% of Americans traveling far from home over the holidays will be in cars, according to AAA. "Airline travel is just really high right now, but most people do drive to their destinations, and that is true for every holiday," AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz said. Gasoline prices are similar to last year. The nationwide average Thursday was $3.04 a gallon, down from $3.13 a year ago, according to AAA. Charging an electric vehicle averages just under 35 cents per per kilowatt hour, but varies by state. Transportation-data firm INRIX says travel times on the nation's highways could be up to 30% longer than normal over the holidays, with Sunday expected to see the heaviest traffic.The arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued by the International Criminal Court is an embarrassment to our government, as well as to his. The United States is the overly indulgent ally that ought to have stayed his heavy hand in Gaza. For the moment, that’s all there will be to this. Netanyahu isn’t going to jail in The Hague, or anywhere else. Israel and the U.S. are two of the most prominent nations that refuse to join the ICC, which issued the arrest warrants last week, charging him and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, with war crimes and crimes against humanity. The other outlier nations include Russia, China and India. Such company we keep. The U.S. and Russia were two of the four victorious powers that tried Nazi henchmen at Nuremberg, convicted 19 and hanged 12 of them. The creation of the ICC was the world’s collective voice saying, “Never again.” But no legalism is any better than the will to enforce it. There are 124 member nations in the ICC, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada and 13 of our other NATO allies. All are bound by the rules to arrest anyone sought by the ICC who comes their way. Not all have always honored that obligation. Nonetheless, the warrant effectively limits Netanyahu’s travel to nations like the U.S. and others that signify they won’t honor the warrant. Netanyahu is welcome in Hungary, an ICC member ruled by the autocrat Victor Orban, who called the ICC’s decision “shameful.” Germany has implied strongly that it wouldn’t honor the warrant, either. The political fallout may be the most consequential effect. The warrants that accuse Netanyahu and Gallant of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza will strengthen the voices of Israel’s critics abroad. Next time, there may be more than 19 votes when Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont tries to cut off supplies of particular weapons to Israel. The warrants will also have the perverse, if predictable, effect of strengthening Netanyahu’s position at home. He most likely would have lost an election had one been held already because he has refused to take responsibility or hold an accounting for the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terror attack that started the war. Many Israelis are irate that he has put finishing it on his terms ahead of bringing home however many hostages still remain alive. He expects more Israelis to rally behind him because of the new pressure from the ICC. It’s likely more than coincidence that the Knesset, with his support, has chosen this moment to take another step toward dictatorship by banning all government communications with the widely respected newspaper Haaretz, and blacklisting it from any government advertising. Israel and its U.S. supporters have objected, reasonably, that world reaction to the Hamas terror assault and the ensuing war has been heavily biased against Israel. The 1,200 people whom Hamas slaughtered, including children and the elderly, had not even been buried when American campuses saw pro-Hamas rallies and heard chants of “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.” Much of it, to tell the truth, reflected open antisemitism — but not all. It is not antisemitic to expect Israel, a nation founded in the aftermath of the Holocaust, to respect human life more than Hamas ever will. It is not antisemitic to believe that Israel should have retaliated with fewer if any of the U.S.-made 2,000-pound bombs that have reduced much of Gaza to a wasteland. It is not antisemitic to say that Israel’s goal of pursuing the war to Hamas’ entire destruction is unattainable. It is not antisemitic to criticize Israel for impeding deliveries of essential food and medical supplies to the 2.3 million civilians in Gaza, who are just as much the hostages of Hamas as the Israeli captives are. Palestinian officials put the current death toll at more than 44,000. They do not distinguish between Hamas guerillas and innocent men, women and children. Two days after the Hamas atrocity, Defense Minister Gallant — whom Netanyahu recently fired — announced a “complete siege on the Gaza Strip.” “There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and acting accordingly,” Gallant said. Gallant virtually guaranteed his indictment with that statement. The specific charges against him and Netanyahu include “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare.” The ICC also issued a warrant for Hamas’ military leader, Muhammed Deif, whom the Israelis claimed to have killed. Without proof of his death, the warrant is necessary. It also counters Netanyahu’s claim that his own warrant is antisemitic. Netanyahu’s statement was especially gross because he called it a “modern Dreyfus trial,” comparing himself to the French Army Captain Alfred Dreyfus, who was framed for treason and sent to Devil’s Island in French Guiana in1894. The Dreyfus Affair, as it was known, brought out so much flagrant antisemitism that it inspired Theordore Herzl , a journalist who covered the trial, to found the Zionist movement that led to the establishment of the state of Israel. Dreyfus was eventually exonerated because he was innocent. Netanyahu is not.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — Elijah Howard ran for 110 yards and scored two touchdowns, the Central Connecticut defense made seven interceptions, and the Blue Devils beat Duquesne 21-14 on Saturday to claim the Northeast Conference's automatic bid to the FCS playoffs. Howard provided the game-winning score by running it in from the 6, then threw the 2-point conversion to quarterback Brady Olson to cap the scoring with 13:44 left in the fourth quarter. The defense for the Blue Devils (7-5, 5-1) sealed the game when it stymied the Dukes (8-3, 5-1) on their final three possessions. Following Central Connecticut's last touchdown, Jalen Howard sacked Darius Perrantes on Duquesne’s first play and forced a fumble which the Blue Devils recovered. Central Connecticut failed to add to the lead when Jack Barnum missed a 40-yard field, but Duquesne turned it back over when Perrantes threw an end zone pick. The Blue Devils punted after six plays, but again, Duquesne saw another drive end with a Perrantes interception. Perrantes threw seven interceptions with three going to Christopher Jean, a pair to Davone Walden Jr. and one each to Deon McLean and Vincent Thomas. Duquesne secured at least a share of the NEC title for a conference record seventh time in program history with last week's win over Wagner. It was the second straight year the Dukes played a winner-take-all game for the NEC automatic bid on the road in the final week of the regular season. Last year they beat Merrimack 26-14 to win the NEC title outright. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up . AP collegebasketball: and The Associated PressA guitar company touting an endorsement by Donald Trump has become embroiled in a trademark dispute, accused of imitating an iconic instrument, U.S. media reported Tuesday. Trump Guitars, whose website boasts a picture of the U.S. president-elect holding a six-string, has received a "cease and desist" letter from Gibson, whose guitars have been favorites of musicians including Bob Dylan and Chuck Berry. The letter warns Trump Guitars owner 16 Creative that the design of their product "infringes upon Gibson's exclusive trademarks, particularly the iconic Les Paul body shape," U.S. outlets said. Trump Guitars, which says on its website it has "the ONLY guitar endorsed" by the incoming commander-in-chief has already sold out of its Trump-autographed American Eagle electric guitar, which had a price tag of $11,500. The company is also offering a "Presidential Series" in red, gold or black, whose shape bears a striking resemblance to the Les Paul, but which has "DONALD J. TRUMP" inlaid on the fretboard. However, the site notes: "The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product." The website also offers a disclaimer that it is not in any way affiliated to Gibson Brands Inc. The guitars, the site notes, are "manufactured by multiple providers and include parts/features that are both domestic and international." It was not immediately clear if they would be affected by a proposed 25 percent blanket tariff the incoming president says he intends to impose on products shipped from Mexico or Canada. Trump is not shy about putting his name to an array of products unrelated to his core real estate empire. The businessman-turned-politician has sold his supporters everything from $100,000 watches to limited edition coins, to gold sneakers, to digital trading cards and signed bibles.
