I forgot to add a point. The TSA claims that by asking passengers to pronounce their names out loud they might catch would be terrorists who are using a fake ID pr BP and haven't taken the time to learn their assumed name. OH PLEASE!!!! The guys who crashed the jets on 9/11 carried out their missions like top trained commandos, you think they would not have learned their names?
The truth is that checking IDs and BPs all day is a boring job so people like Olajide Olwaseun Noibi (the man who slipped by the TSA) can get by. And just how in the hell do you pronounce Olajide Olwaseun Noibi??? And how would the TSA agent know if it was correct or not.
Furthermore if a passenger gets on the a flight that he or she is not supposed to isn't that more of an airline's profit or loss issue? That's your BP and ID are screened at the baggage check in area for each airline and why your BP is checked as you board the plane and that is why the flight attendant gets involved when you try to sit down and someone is in you seat saying it is their seat (usually one of the passengers doesn't understand which side of the plane they belong on even though it is listed just above each row.
