Many times, people that obtain fake I.D. get nervous enough during questioning that they can not remember the fake name and address on the I.D. This is an old police trick that works well. Will this stop a terrorist attack? Probably not..unless the terrorist was told to go to the airport and pick up a ticket and I.D. from someone and did not memorize the information, destination, or airline. Might lead to further questioning. Its a tool, nothing more. Even the TSA has better things to do than worry about where your are flying to.
See SPOT walk. See SPOT bark. See SPOT fall on its face.
Consistent inconsistency ... to keep the terrorists on their toes.
