Amber on Facebook said, "I think it shows some people (especially those at the ticket counter) are lacking just a little bit of common sense. Being sent off by the parents is one thing. Going to a ticket counter and purchasing a ticket without an adult is another. Why was nothing questioned, especially "where are your parents?" This could have possibly turned out a lot worse."
On Facebook Joshua wrote, "Airport security is a joke, but the kids had 700 dollars and nobody was gonna turn that away."
Linda on Facebook wrote, "All I can say is WOW!"
Walter said, "I want to know why they weren't asked for ID. The ball was dropped in a lot of places on this one."
