Flight attendant flees security check, leaves 70 pounds of cocaine behind

Authorities are looking for a flight attendant who they say fled Los Angeles International Airport after being selected for a random security screening Friday, leaving behind almost 70 pounds of cocaine stashed in her luggage.

The unidentified woman remained at large Monday. It was not immediately clear which airline she worked for.

Marshall McClain, president of the union representing the airport's police officers, said the woman was was sent to a secondary screening area, but she quickly dropped her bag, ditched a pair of Gucci heels and fled barefoot down an upward-moving escalator.

Police called to investigate the unattended bag found 69 pounds of cocaine inside.

I believe that it may cost too much but doors anyone know why it would cost that much more to screen employees when they are already screening the masses of consumers?

Hey the honest air line workers are great. Salisbury is a great place to fly out of. I agree there is dope being moved by planes at Bay Land and U.S. Air Money is money some will do anything to get it. Common sense tells you it is happening. Why no checks by the police ???
