Why is the press somehow making this out to be such a security matter? Seems like this is just a simple case of theft in the amount of three or $400. I failed to see how there’s any real security issue here. The man went through security his bags were checked, ID was checked to ensure he wasn’t on a no fly list. This seems like a petty crime. Worse the newscaster has to go and say it’s *our* problem that our “private information” is being taken. Sorry he was stealing a $400 flight from the airline. Don’t try to pin that on the port customers. It should be of no concern to us. If someone steals my barcode what do I care? I’m still going to get on the plane. It’s their crappy system that permits this, please don’t burden the consumer with managing your security. FWIW Ticketmaster barcodes can’t be screenshotted (they’re dynamic). Seems the airlines should just improve their tech.
