The need for a more secure boarding pass has been discussed many times, by many people. I suggested the need for a secure boarding pass on my blog back in October. It has nothing to do with terrorism, but more to do with seeking out a way to verify a boarding pass. The hard part is making a secure boarding pass, that also removes the TSA from handling airline revenue issues.

I wrote about this topic in detail today on my Boarding Area blog here:
