My only concern about the whole matching names to BPs to their ID making the people who need "watching" get it. All the 9/11 hijackors were flying domestically. If any one can through airport security on anyone's ticket (irregardless of name, even sex like the last post), what's the sense in having a terrorist watch list? Its just another loop hole for them to work with if they have anything else up thier sleeves.

Don't get me wrong. I really don't have any fear in flying, but the holes I've come across in security (this is just one of them) over the last year does bother me. I also know some one who works on the ground at EWR. He's told me some the loop holes came across which are pretty disturbing also.

Are we any more safe than we were more safe than before 9/11? I doubt it. The only thing that's come out of it is that we better medal and x-ray machines on the upside, but more obvious loop holes and longer lines on the down side.
