Three weeks ago I had a Delta flight from Cincinnati to Shreveport LA. After getting my Delta counter issued BP I proceeded to security where two different people checked my ID and BP. While waiting at the gate I happened to notice that my boarding pass had someone else's name on it! I took my ID and the BP to the boarding agent and informed her about the discepency. BIG issue! She called TSA and the Cincinnati police and after questioning (during which time the plane took off) The Delta agent said "You have to go through security with a boarding pass with you own name on it." Duh, If I were up to no good would I point out the error and volunteer my ID to the gate agent?

Two questions and a comment:
1)Are there any basic requirements for the guy that sits in a chair and who's sole function is to check IDs and boarding passes?
2)If I had John Doe's BP did he have mine, and if so, how did he get on the plane?

On my three flights since this incident I have been SSSS'd all three times Coincedence? Don't think so, I probably on some kind of list now as a "bad guy" for a mistake the airline made. And no, I didn't get emotional, the ticket agent's supervisor said I was very calm given the circumstances and that most people would be quite upset.
