None of you know why this guy has multiple ID's, nor why he decided to run when they found out he was trying to pass as somene else.
A simple case of a fake ID to buy some beer such as McLovin (from the movie Superbad)? Maybe. Someone trying to hide their identity for more significant reasons? also a possibility.
I would at least wait for the follow-up story of who this moron is before making all the normal assumptions this forum is full of.
no offense, but do you think you're actually going to change anyone's opinion by posting this kind of stuff?
the point that many people are making is that even if it were osama bin laden himself, if he were properly screened, he would present no risk to the plane.
then of course, there's all the other ID issues, such as why would osama bin laden's number 2 present ID declaring himself as such? or why wouldn't he book the ticket under a different name, then use a fake boarding pass to get thru security, so that his name was never matched against the no-fly list?
