I did not say requiring ID was an attempt by the airlines to rip you off. Rather, its their way to enforce their rules on transferability, etc. I don't mind showing ID to board a plane, but I do mind that the airlines pretend its for your benefit or safety. Apparently, a lot of you were fooled by the airlines on this rather small point.</font>
Maybe it's because we've got more important things to worry about than whether or not the airlines are trying to enforce their rules on transfering tickets by making us show our IDs.
My concern is on getting from point a to point b. It isn't about whether or not the airlines make a few more bucks by catching a few folks who try to skate around the rules. Actually, I say more power to them. Cheaters drive up the fares for the rest of us who play by the rules.
