Every flight should be that way.
You'd have exactly the same experience when you swing by Australia. Probably the only time I have been asked for my ID is when checking in at the counter (or while checking in for an International flight).
To me (and other avid planespotters) the best part is the ability to get airside at australian airport (domestic terminals) even if you are not flying. Also makes seeing people off/meeting them at the gate much much more easier. And no pesky liquids rule to deal with either! ^
