BTW, I believe the official charge is "theft of service" but I don't recall exactly.
Well, that's the least of your worries. I've been aboard at least two aircraft where they've pushed back, only to return to the gate and offloaded, in handcuffs, people seated in First Class that weren't supposed to be there. On another flight, they had closed the door and then opened it up when someone squeaked about not being able to use the first class lavatory. That person was escorted off by uniformed federal marshals.
It ain't simple theft. Nowdays, you gonna get the pleasure of an FBI interview! Just about guaranteed!
