The woman who caused a security breach at the Nashville International Airport last week appeared before a judge Thursday.
According to affidavits, Naja Haynes skipped two TSA security checkpoints and was able to board an Atlanta-bound Delta plane. A gate agent didn't question the woman until she was sitting in a seat on the plane. When questioned, Haynes allegedly refused to present her ID saying, "my name and faith is my ID."
During the 30 minute hearing Thursday, Haynes acted erratically, speaking out loud and even trying to leave before being dismissed during the judge.
At one point, when Haynes was asked if she was pleading guilty, she repeatedly said, "I'm not guilty."
That behavior, coupled with the behavior at the airport, prompted General Sessions Judge Melissa Blackburn to question her mental state.
"I've got to make certain that, if we are going to release her, she's going to be safe herself," Judge Blackburn said.
Blackburn ruled that Haynes must stay with her mother while out on bond.
During the hearing, a Nashville Airport Police Officer said Haynes walked through a closed ID checkpoint and then walked through a closed body scanner.
"It was an unmanned area that she went through and she went by without anyone seeing her," Gary Polk said.
As a result of this incident a Transportation Security Administration officer resigned. Officials tell News Channel 5 officers may undergo more training.
Despite the claims from police, Haynes' attorney claimed his client did not break any laws.
"From all the testimony we've heard today, there's nothing that Ms. Haynes did that violated security," Talor Bearman said.
Prosecutors and the judge disagreed.
Haynes has been charged with a misdemeanor security violation and resisting arrest. Prosecutors said the charges may be upgraded to felonies.
