Just to add a little to the fire: When you go to the airport do they check your ID before you get on the plane or after?
IMHO implementing a 2FA or a ID verification wouldnt be a burden on anyone but the bumbling bureaucrats. This problem isnt limited to UI, its a major problem (10's of billions) at the IRS. Who will send a refund before they even check the return or the income.
They send the refund to the first filer, with no verification! But when it comes to collecting the funds, they will hunt you down if your EIN doesnt match your entity name on the most obscure forms...

- lonelappde 6y agoHow recently? Public airport or private? "Retail" or privately hired pilot?
- jrockway 6y agoI'm guessing people only tell the story when they fly a commercial mainline airline out of a commercial airport, simply because "yeah my buddy has a Cessna 172 and we flew to California" just isn't a very good story.
- birdyrooster 6y agoI did this last in 2016 when I forgot my wallet at home on my way out from SJC flying on Delta.
- whatthesmack 6y agoBut you didn’t fly until they could positively identify who you are. If they couldn’t identify who you are, you wouldn’t have been on those airplanes.
- birdyrooster 6y agoBut I didn't need to carry "identification". I just had to answer some questions.
