Please help.....need to know if airline travel is possible with criminal shoplift charges pending. My PD will not let me plead out to a felony, but as it stands, that is the charge, and I was bailed out last year when the incident orginially occurred. I have to go out of state to get my ailing/disabled mother to bring her back to Alaska. I am concerned that there may be something in the computer that will cause a problem at the Anchorage or Seattle airports. Does anyone know how this works? I certainly do not want to make this problem any bigger! I don't know if asking my attorney will draw attention to the issue and ensure that I am unable to board the plane. Please help!!!!!
