When I say initial, I am referring to the printing of the boarding pass at the kiosks. For the second time this year, once in SJU and once in EWR, after printing out my boarding pass from the kiosk, I checked the bag and left. The agent made no mention of checking my ID against the name on the ticket. Isn't this protocol among the FAA? I can't think of any flight before this year, whether it is CO or any other airline, where the agents didn't ask for identificiation. I would think that this would be the first thing that needs to be done, but maybe its not as important as it used to be. I figured that I would put this out in the Flyertalk Community.
