I actually queried the procedure, as in "Sheesh, I'm only going to Edinburgh. Do you really need to see this?" I was told, in a po-faced manner, "That's what we do here."
How strange, I've definitely never encountered this at STN though it's been some time since I did a domestic from there. Were you to have shown say a British driving licence with a domestic boarding pass I can't see what option they would have had but to have waved you past.
