>>Heh! Most hijackers and bombers have ID on them, do they not? Have there been any yet who didn't? Gosh! If I was going to hijack or bomb a plane I really don't think I'd try to board it carrying no ID. No sirree. That would be just downright stupid.<<

Someone else brought it up. If he left his wallet at home, how's going to pay for anything?? I keep my ATM card in mine, I keep my money in mine. Without that, how can you go anywhere? Maybe because he doesn't intend on coming back--if you know what I mean. We ran into this same thing with Richard Reid the shoe-bomber. A dirty-looking guy wants to board a plane with a one-way ticket and no luggage--does that sound right to you? Sure enough, he never intended to come back either.

People's lives are depending on you doing your job and I would have told that guy, "I'm sorry, sir, but you have to have the proper ID before I can let you board this plane." Just because an organized terrorist would have ID doesn't mean a nutcase will. How does anyone know that guy didn't just kill his entire family before he left for the airport and intended to take out as many others as he could when he committed suicide?
