Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that the incredibly few airline terrorsts (now dead) out there had boarding passes in the same names as their ID.
I think this story is going to back fire on us. Drudge posted it this morning under the headline "Reporter skates through security with fake boarding pass". Instead of acknowledging the uselessness of their stupid security theater, the TSA will take this as an opportunity to beg for more money to buy their super secure "board pass scanners". More money down the drain and no real increase in security.
