Last week's episode of "LAX" showed a male streaker running through a security checkpoint. On Monday, a Canadian man who was turned away from a Qantas flight to Australia stripped down, climbed over an eight-fence with barbed wire at the top and hid in the wheel well of a moving jumbo jet at LAX. He was arrested for trespassing, the Daily Breeze says. The same day, police questioned a driver with a GPS device who was parked in a restricted area on the airport's border. He was released after explaining that he was trying to find items hidden there as part of a geocaching game. And last week, a French citizen was detained while videotaping the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnel under LAX. He explained he was a recreational "plane spotter" and was not arrested.
