Just wait for the day that you are connecting in a hub, have a few hours, go through security and back and are surprised to find yourself "ARRESTED" for a speeding violation you have from the state which is 10 years old that you totally forgot about!!!!

Meanwhile a sleeper who no one is looking for for any reason breezes through security.

I have stated it ad nauseam everytime that this has come up. France, Germany, Spain and Italy have NEVER caught a known terrorist using his/her own ID. Ever. This despite the fact that they have mandatory national ID's which are potentially checked quite often (always when they travel).

Any person on this board could generate a completely full and clean set of ID's for him/herself (under another name)in 30-60 days, in the USA. Anyone who does not realize this is a fool. Many people in other countries can buy themselves completely "clean" sets of ID's in much less time.

Until a real biometric system is set up, this fact will not change.
