First off, that's not what the security personnel told me. Its posted that it is required to get through security. Secondly, whether it was TSA or a contractor, they were all in TSA uniforms. Also, are you saying that security is a non-issue if a contractor is doing it?
Lastly, I don't think you ment it this way, but are you saying that the name on the boarding pass is a mute point? Can I fly on just anyone's boarding pass? I know people fly under an alias all the time for privacy/security reasons all the time but the ID and the BP atleast have to match to let the people into "secured areas."
