But yes, eventually it will be done at the TDC station, by computer.

I should explain that whY is wrong with your question is that you seem to be saying the answer has to make sense to you, or be correct (I am NOT saying the answer is not correct!).

We have all known someone who did something stupid. Let's use me for example: I came to flyertalk to help answer questions, knowing my answers would not be accepted. If someone were to am me, "if you knew your answers would not be accepted, why go there?" To which I answer, "to answer question." Then I'm told, "no, that answer is not good. You knew it wouldn't work. I want another answer." And I say, "but that's my answer, it's what I really thought and did." "no, it doesn't make sense, give me another answer..."

when does it stop? Even if my answer is wrong and not logical, did I not answer? Sure I did.

We check ID to confirm a pax against the no-fly and selected list. No, right now we do NOT confirm it again at the TDC. Maybe that does NOT make sense to you. Maybe you think it's stupid. Maybe you think it violates your rights. Even so, how would that change the fact that it's an answer?

Like I have said before, now the answer needs to be examined....
