The foolishness of the "So Called" Security proceedures at the airport is well shown here. The process he went through is a far more secure and sane method of check in than the current.
We are now ready to ungrade this non-sense. Metal detector, X-Ray and Puffer.. Beep, Scan, Puff and you're through and just about as safe as anything and you bearly have to slow down to do it.
When I first flew to California on a Fur quest (I'm allowed to be corny, right?) I had with me a scalpel that I forgot to leave at home
And flew with it with me (meaning I didn't check it in, but had it in the cockpit) both ways... I know a Scalpel isn't quite as threatening as a knife, but shouldn't I not have been allowed to fly with it, when they don't even allow nail clippers? =P
Sadly what that means is that if someone really wants to get something on the plane they will, regardless of the "new and improved" security
I have always been asked for my passport to fly, because all but a couple of times I've always flown internationally, it just makes sense (you don't want to get there and find out you don't have your passport, especially to the US); so this "show ID" thing wouldn't really bother me. What's wrong with verifying you're the person on the ticket's name? I don't think it makes the process any more secure (or hardly any more secure); but I don't see what's wrong either.
