#1 As said by
RichardKenner, ticket counters are made for buying (guess what) TICKETS. Or what do you mean with "documents"? Passport, party member card, the official TSA travel permit, ...?
Or are you by any chance confusing "ticket counter" and "check-in desk"?

#2 You are probably preparing us for that "Official TSA travel permit" that we will have to request on-line... I remember certain Eastern European countries where you needed a permit to travel outside your own city... Getting closer... (If we let people like you have their wish
)

Nothing to do with airport security (at least not the type you are thinking of) ... But I know airports where this is already checked to avoid other people getting away with your luggage.

#3 Right... Maybe if we kept non-travelers of the streets...
That said, there are lots of airports where there is a security check before entering the airport building or the check-in area. HKT (Phuket) and SAH (Sana'a) are 2 examples I remember...
