No, I haven't pointed out why i.d. checking isn't useful. Just because they make a 51-foot ladder doesn't make a 50-foot wall useless. Attrition, folks: Make someone present valid i.d. and maybe you stop 50 out of 51 trying to get on the plane for bad purposes. Make no one present valid i.d. and all 51 march aboard multiple planes.
Checking i.d. is useful, it's just not perfect. By that logic no security measure, no vaccination, no machine or vehicle safety equipment, no protective gear is worth a dime. Thank you, but I'll keep wearing my seatbelt and buying cars with airbags, keep using safety goggles and gloves in the work lab, keep taking shots before going abroad, and keep right on presenting my i.d. at the airport.
