Waved through meaning, A guy who could tell he was old enough to buy a six pack thought "Whatever, I don't have time for that shit today."

Sky Harbor is the Phoenix airport. He's claiming he got through security with it.

It's believable. I lost my ID like 2 days before a flight, and my Sam's membership card was sufficient to get let through.

I mean airport security is not as secure as it claims. I could see some tired TSA worker waving him through without paying much attention to the ID, especially in a busy airport like Phoenix.

In the EU you used to have within-the-EU flights where you wouldn't be asked for an ID once. Scan your ticket and there you go. Maybe you bought this PDF off a weird looking guy in front of the airport, who cares. They now check it more often than not, but it still happens you fly without a single ID check.

So, I'd assume for a national US flight it probably makes sense nobody needed to actually track his ID for immigration purposes, and so a short look without a digital scan is enough. And a tired TSA employee just didn't care at all on that day.

I imagine them thinking that if they didn't the next two hours will be spent dealing with a crazy person throwing a tantrum and that it's not worth it

Every airport I've been through they scan your id, not just look at it

TSA has always been security theater.

Maybe twenty years ago. You need RealID now and something tells me that thing doesn't scan.

As far as I'm aware, there are also forms to fill out if you don't have an ID. Answer a few questions and go through extra screenings.

You don't need Real ID, it was delayed to May 2025

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

And it'll be delayed again lol
