During my many hours of contemplation about how to improve the TSA , I stumbled upon what I believe to be a significant security enhancement the TDCs could implement. I believe they should be provided with computers linked to government and airline databases. Then the boarding pass, which can so easily be forged in this era of OLCI, could be scanned to confirm its authenticity and the existence of the flight. The travelers Photo ID could also be scanned to ensure its authenticity. While expensive to implement, I have seen such an approach in foreign countries, and I believe this would provide far more security than that pathetic TSA magnifying glass and the UV light.

As always your insights are appreciated.
