On my last two flights (German domestic - so not Continental) they didn't even check my ID before security screening. So I could have bought the ticket as "supermasterphil" who is apparently not targeted and "I am searched by police"could have used the ticket!
On the other hand, just a bad person being on the plane is not a security decrease for me as long as the security check is efficient.
The TSA always claims to be so good, high standards, bla bla but they never find anything even if I have additional liquids, still wear my belt, whatever.
In Germany, they always check me twice even if I am "clean" and took off the belt, etc. You know what? They are even friendly!
