Traveler got on plane using fake badge


Florida - Carrying a ''Fisher Island Chief of Police'' badge and claiming he was a U.S. air marshal, Mark Rimkufski convinced Miami airline employees to allow him on a flight after the gate had closed, police said.
The ruse landed him in jail, Miami-Dade police said, when he was confronted -- by real air marshals on the plane.
Rimkufski, 49, was later charged with falsely impersonating a law enforcement officer. More... Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace - Sky Mall
