Marilyn Hartman is quickly becoming a celebrity at airports beyond the west coast, it seems. I first wrote about Marilyn Hartman last March, when she was arrested at SFO after trying to sneak through security several times without a ticket. Then in August she successfully managed to sneak on a plane from San Jose to…

She is misbehaving (like a little kid) and also she is mentally ill. Let's not fool ourselves here. She is making fools of all us - airlines, authorities, innocent passengers, everybody. What if she decides to carry strange substances with her? What if others decide to do what she is doing? I think she should not be allowed into any airport - anywhere - for life. I have no sympathy for her whatsoever. Of course we can learn from her but let's not let her carry on in constantly making fools of us. I also think she should be confined to a mental institution where the proper authorities can examine her and figure out ways to prevent such terrible behavior. If something terribel happens because of her awful behavior then we will all say - "Why didn't we do something in the first place to prevent this?"

I think a GoPro Camera should be attached to her so we can see how she does it. This whole escapade is very fascinating = HomeLand Security should hire her.

"Her behavior is criminal and compromises security" I agree, it is criminal, but actually her doing what she did will help find loopholes that apparently exist in the current airport security. They can learn from this and improve security in the future. Not that she should keep doing it, but since she has done this more than once, they should find out all they can about how she did it and fix the vulnerability.

I am for treating the mentally ill as well. But she obviously isn't mentally ill enough to be detained against her will. So I suspect we will be reading about her escapades for a good few years until she goes off the deep end.

I believe that the mentally ill should be treated and not criminalized, but in this case I don't have a soft spot at all. Her behavior is criminal and compromises security - hers and others'. She's knowingly, repeatedly breaking the law and is cognizant enough to know that what she's doing is wrong. I think this woman needs to be detained. I sure wouldn't get away with this behavior for so long.

All over the news here in JAX. I'm thinking she hopped the DL MSP-JAX flight

I honestly don't know. I hope she gets (and accepts) help soon.

Ben- I thought you were going to give her a free award ticket and hotel in Hawaii or somewhere?

What a great attitude towards the mentally ill, nick. Stay classy.
