11. Sent Packing
Charles D. McKinley, 25, of Brooklyn, N.Y., had four weeks of
vacation coming, so he decided to visit his parents in DeSoto,
Texas. Rather than buy a plane ticket for $320, McKinley, a
shipping clerk, packed himself into a shipping crate and air-
expressed himself home, charging the fees to his employer.
When the crate was delivered to his parent’s front step,
McKinley pushed out of the box and shook hands with the
“shaken and frightened” delivery driver. The driver called the
police. After an investigation by the FBI, the U.S. Attorney,
postal inspectors, the Federal Aviation Administration and the
Transportation Security Administration, McKinley was charged
as a stowaway, a federal misdemeanor.
… If he had only waited for the driver to leave, he would have
been home free.
