Illegal immigrant from Guyana steals identity and lands job at American Eagle.

An American Eagle Airlines flight attendant is accused of stealing another man's identity to land his job and fly around the world, according to the Miami-Dade police.

Jophan Porter, a 38-year-old illegal immigrant from Guyana, was arrested Friday at Miami International Airport. Records show he is also a former resident of the Bronx in New York City.

"A simple Google search on Frair would have brought up his arrest record, leaving investigators wondering if the airline, which is owned by AMR Corporation, the same parent company as American Airlines, did even a basic background check."
