to show people how deeply flawed airport and airline security are.

Universal hacker-loser excuse.

"The Bush administration must immediately act to investigate, apprehend those responsible, shut down the website, and warn airlines and aviation security officials to be on the look-out for fraudsters or terrorists trying to use fake boarding passes in an attempt to cheat their way through security and onto a plane," wrote Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass

Evidently that's the political version of sticking fingers in one's ears and repeatedly chanting "lalalalala".

actually Northwest should be either firing the person who wrote the code for them OR they should be getting a MASSIVE refund from the outsourced corporation.

Well, then, make certain to fly out of Detroit on Tuesday or Thursday then.

Seems the FBI paid him a little visit, and now he's offline.

"TSA assures that every individual introduced to the sterile environment beyond the checkpoint and their accessible property have been thoroughly checked and screened."

LOL This is the joke of the century! A female acquaintance of ours who travels all the time has a small plastic bottle of Visene and a small plastic bottle of hand cram in a pouch in her purse and she has been keeping her boarding pass stubs ever since the ruling that these things are not allowed. She thought she would send all the items to TSA when she has 100 stubs, to show them how many times her purse has been "screened" and how worthless the process is!

Good site - this guy demonstrated that five years after 9/11, the TSA still has not gotten its act together. Too bad it took a hacker to reveal lapses in our airport security that can be exploited by terrorists.

So how does one even get into the security line without showing a passport or photo ID drivers' license.

..but what we have now is what we in the industry call 'security theater.' It's made to make you think you're secure without actually making you secure," Soghoian said.
Soghoian gets to learn an important lesson with this one. When people are burring their heads in the sand, don't uncover them.

I don't see what's the big the deal here. Some punk wrote a piece of software which prints documents that look like airline tickets. You can't get on a plane with one these.

A high schooler could do it too, but why?

Well, I'll give you something to combine it with....

Last week I observed a traveller of mid-eastern extraction who was ahead of me in the security line get stopped at the head of the security line because he had liquids in his hand luggage that they would not allow on the plane.

The TSA official gave him the option to return to the checkin desk downstairs and check his liquids and then return. In doing this, he gave him a voucher to enable him to use the employee line, to get back to the head of the line, effectiviely bypassing the bomb sniffing dog that everyone in line had had to pass close to.

So, am thinking, what's to stop this guy from getting his explosives,stuffing them up his ass, and walking to the head of the line?

Why bash this kid? He is doing all of us a great service. Better him than Al Queda. Now the holes can be filled.
