Why? Do you really think showing ID keeps any bad guys from getting on a plane? The idea that the 'showing ID' charade at the checkpoint accomplishes anything safety-related is ludicrous.

The only reason the airlines ever asked for ID was revenue protection. That's fine - I have no problem showing ID to an airline employee. The government? I have a big problem with that.

Back on topic - I don't care if flight crew cut in line and I don't care if they skip security. It's well worth it to keep flights on time.
