No, I wouldn't recommend anyone skipping this check based on this specific incident, it's just one more reason for me to doubt its existence, and what would EC261/2004 say if someone would be IDB'd at the gate for failing to go through it.

BTW, for a bunch of domestic travel, a "any valid drivers license/any photo ID" is enough:

So clearly this means there are different boarding processes for domestic flights than for international ones, as a drivers license cannot determine someones nationality, and what is "any photo ID"? can I use my ov-chipkaart to travel on domestic routes in Germany or the UK? and do I need to go to the document check desk if I have a non-EEA passport?
