She was on her way to Atlanta to visit her sister about 6 a.m. March 29, 2016, when airport security found 200 fake credit cards wrapped in socks and stuffed in shoes inside Lane's luggage, prosecutors said.
Authorities believe the mass of magnetic strips attached to the cards was responsible for triggering a bomb detector at the South Side airport, 5700 S. Cicero Ave.
Upon being arrested, Lane reportedly "asked detectives what she could've done better to get away with it," prosecutors said.
At the time, Lane was on probation for a 2015 identity-theft conviction, court records show. She had been sentenced to 18 months of probation and 30 hours of community service following a 2014 incident.
In the Midway case, Cook County Judge Erica Reddick on May 4 sentenced Lane to three years in prison.
According to county officials, Lane was taken into custody by the Illinois Department of Corrections on Wednesday. A projected parole date was not immediately available.
