Doppy - I understand your points and see where you're coming from - there are many sides to this issue.

The ID checking thing - if nobody ever checks it - it is an easy way to get somebody aboard an aircraft so long as they have a boarding pass (at BUD it could have been anybody). At least if there are checks, or random checks, it might deter one of the weirdos... that's all I'm saying.

I know security screening isn't perfect, but I'd rather have the TSA (even with the SSSSing) than security at a lot of other airports.

Regards
