Jamie Lynn Decoy Dupes Paps

Posted Sep 12, 08 11:15 AM CDT in Gossip 

(AP) – Los Angeles airport police duped a crowd of paparazzi looking to get a shot of Britney Spears' little sister Wednesday by leading an unidentified woman—wearing sunglasses and looking away from cameras—down an escalator while the real 17-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears and her baby left the airport from another area.

"All (the officers) did was follow the crowd down to the baggage area," said Los Angeles airport officer, who denied any trickery. "The people they were following assumed that this was Spears because she was blonde." A TMZ.com video showed several officers tucked in tight around the woman, some giving repeated warnings to "keep backing up" and "keep moving."
