There is no such thing as 100% security. You can build a fence and try to say "but someone who really wants to get in will bring a wire-cutter," but that's just missing the point. The point is that a fence is cheap, and you want as much security as you can reasonably afford.
There's no way anything will stop anyone who really wants to get on a plane. But when you play a game of chess, you don't try to play a perfect game, you try to play the game that gives your opponent the most opportunities to make mistakes. You force your opponent to make decisions, because that's how they end up making the wrong decisions and get caught.
So go ahead and make a fake ID. You'll fail to board more by doing that than you will if the airport doesn't even bother to ask for ID.

They're not trying. >So go ahead and make a fake ID. You'll fail to board more by doing that than you will if the airport doesn't even bother to ask for ID. And by asking for IDs you achieve what? How many terrorists has the TSA stopped because they had fake IDs?
