According to this, a passenger on a PIA flight was asleep when the aircraft landed at CDG and stayed asleep unnoticed by ground staff until the aircraft was on it’s way back to Lahore. Surely a major security blunder if no one even notices an “extra” passenger on the return flight?

She must have been a heavy sleeper.

There are several possible opportunities for this passenger to have been noticed, post flight cabin crew security checks, cleaners, caterers and pre flight cabin crew security checks to name a few. (I’m not convinced this person was simply asleep in a seat though).
However the ‘”extra” passenger on the return flight’ isn’t necessarily one of them. Most airlines don’t do head counts any more (witness the recent Jet2.com MAN FCO incident). As long as the number of people through the gate matches the number of people checked in this extra passenger wouldn’t be picked up on, unless of course the flight had been full and they would have been a seat short after boarding.
