Do me a favor? Take Kip's place next year.
I agree - I don't see anything wrong with TSA checking ID's (in fact, I always thought TSA checked ID's until I came to this forum - if I didn't know any better, I probably wouldn't know the difference), but black lights and loupes are simply a waste of time and resources.
The number of lanes are not less, but with two screeners checking I.D's, there may not be enough available to operate a lane.
No, I think the lights and loupes are stupid. Im hoping that they become more of a problem, and they just get rid of them all together. If they want us to check tickets, fine...we will check tickets. The police, customs, and bouncers at bars are the only ones who should have any interest in fake/false I. D's. Everyone knows that an I.D is not required to travel, why waste more time on something that isn't even necessary.
