Well, I was born and live in the Schengen zone, and in the past 34 years I have never been required to show an ID on 100s of domestic flights in Germany and, since Schengen exists, many intra-Schengen flights. A actually didn't even OWN a national ID card until I turned 28, and I certainly didn't carry my passport on domestic trips. But I can't speak for ALL European countries, a fact that I indicated in my post.
Maybe it was because you look like you are carrying a bomb...
