Oops, she did it again…

Everyone’s favorite serial stowaway, Svetlana Dali, has once again gotten on a plane without buying a ticket. This time she partied with United, leaving out of EWR headed to Milan.

Well at least we have learned that things named 'Dali' are a land of extremes.

She would've needed to show ID at some point right?

Actually, it depends.

My airline uses facial recognition which, quite honestly, might be the equivalent of a water witch. But if you get to the gate and they’re not using photo ID, all you need is a ticket.

Domestic, they do a look at your ID coming through security because it’s not that hard to defeat if you’re determined and have certain intentions.

Previous to KCM, the other pilot swapped out my ID with his, as a joke, when I was in the lavatory and I didn’t catch it for almost two days.

Wasn’t it only a few years ago that you first had to show anything other than a boarding pass at security or is my memory going? Seems like we made it between 9/11 and pretty close to now just fine without that particular bit of surveillance state.

Also, this is your weekly reminder that drugs and large amounts of cash aren’t a terror threat and should be none of TSAs business.

This is why I always travel with my wallet boofed. If they're going to inspect it, they're gonna earn it by god.

I think you're remembering wrong, photo ID has been required since shortly after 9/11.

I’m probably mixing up with how you don’t need to show a boarding pass anymore.

Do non rev passes count

They did when I was non reving but didn’t have KCM
