It is worth in the rest of the world. And besides, I've been there and it's not 2x. Everyone has their ID ready and it just takes a glance to check.

  Worth it how?

    On international flights, if an airline transports somebody who is rejected by the destination for not having the proper visas etc, they are heavily fined. So airlines are strongly incentivized to triple-check passengers and their documentation.

      That's not a concern with a domestic US flight. If that's the reason why checking ID's is 'worth it', then it's not worth it.

    Worth it as in there's literally no cost to doing it and it prevents unidentified people from boarding. As funny as I find the anecdote, I would prefer any airline knowing who's on my plane. Wouldn't you?

      Not really, no, it's just one more thing to go wrong and for me to have to dig out of my pockets. I'm happy for things to move along more efficiently, airplane processes are slow and annoying enough as it is. I don't care if some other guy got on the wrong flight, intentionally or not. That's his business.
