All good points. During an interview for a newspaper, Schneier also exposed another method of boarding a plane without a ticket or ID, just by saying he lost his wallet and supplying a name and flight destination/time. He got his ticket with a mark on it waiving the need to match his ID. With all these vulnerabilities, and with all the new attack vectors that exist _because_ of these fake security measures as dotBen points out, I can't imagine a reasoned defense of the security theater in place. Anyone?
