Here is a new one for me today at CLE (Cleveland, OH).

Have ID and boarding pass checked by contract worker at entrance to checkpoint queue. Get to end of queue and a TSA worker checks the boarding pass. Normally, no ID is required for the TSA check at the end of the queue (normally just look for “SSSS”), but today the TSA worker announces that new policy mandates that any computer generated boarding pass from e-check in requires a secondary ID check to enter. I had to pull out my drivers license again.

I guess the TSA decided that boarding passes printed through e-check in is higher risk than those printed at the airline kiosks.

Lastly, I also want to note that I was NOT required to remove my shoes for the CLE checkpoint. Strange, I thought the new SOP required removal of anything less than thin flip-flops. On Thursday of last week I was required to remove these same shoes at EWR. I have been flying out of CLE every week since the end of February and I have never had to remove my shoes. I love flying out of CLE.
