Let's be realistic. Fake boarding passes aren't a threat to the TSA. The only purpose to the TSA of checking your boarding pass before entering the security checkpoint is to keep from unnecessarily screening people who aren't flying. It keeps your mother from cluttering up the naked-scanner for everyone else who's flying if she just wants to kiss you before you fly away. If someone prints a fake boarding pass to get past the TSA, they still won't be able to get on the flight. They're going to be able to buy a Maxim at Hudson News and an 8 hour old sandwich and nothing more. And even if they are able to board the flight, they won't have a seat assigned so they run the risk of being caught by a flight attendant before takeoff and getting arrested. No, someone who poses a real terror threat won't present a fake boarding pass to the TSA because that could blow their whole plot if they get caught with it before takeoff. I find it hilarious when suddenly everyone on Slashdot becomes a security expert.
