Meanwhile the lines are spreading the word that the discount tickets are no bargain. Passengers caught with them can be arrested for using stolen property, though unwitting travelers get off easily. Last month TWA investigators caught up with two young girls who had made it to Madrid on bogus tickets they had bought in Los Angeles. Convinced that the two were merely innocents abroad...
