I have no issue with this possibility being highlighted. I do take issue with the idea that checking ID against boarding passes -- even if tightly controlled -- is a worthwhile security measure. The only real security it provides is financial security for the airlines (and their revenue protection-type units), for those employed in the dog and pony security show( including ID checkers), and vendors involved in selling ID-checking systems, personal information and databases.

I am indeed a flyertalker, although, mostly a lurker.

Hope ya'll enjoy it. We'll see what happens from here.

Cheers

Good luck, and welcome to more active contributions to Flyertalk. :)

I wouldn't know about these types of things, but I understand that it is not particularly difficult to $hit on the american aviation security system and fly using an alias.

As long as:

it's a coach seat
it's a middle seat
there's a backed up but out of service toilet nearby and
the flight attendants ignore him all flight

then I am satisfied. :)

I think a boarding pass is a wrong choice in that case... what you need is a
shipping label. :D

What would North Korea do to the boarding pass engine creator? Send their version of "the men" to "have a talk"? :eek:
