Either it matches up or it doesn't. It should actually reduce hassles.
Fish i was talking about from the airlines side from IT implementation, and even more on TSA for having to buy yet another gadget(to add to the black light) to waste tax payer money for no benefit. Its a 360 degree waste of money and time on all fronts for no benefit
you dont even have to get me started on the ID checking thing as thats BS from the word go, even more so that its not compared to anything. I could care less about fakes because 99.999% TSA doesnt know the difference between real and fake anyways unless it was a poor job that a blind person could pick out at a 100m. I also know where i can get novelty IDs that are dead on that even the cops cant tell there fake as there encoded correctly down to the RFID and mag strips.
