Security Quote Of The Day

27B/6 is reporting that the creater of the fake boarding pass generator will not be prosecuted. From the article:

He also wants the conversation not to be about the ability to just get into the security line with a fake boarding pass, but about the current uselessness of government watchlists for domestic flights. Currently anyone on the no-fly list can use a fake boarding pass or using the option not to show identification papers to fly without tripping the watchlists. While suspected terrorists such as those recently arrested in England aren’t put on the list for fear of tipping investigators hands, the lists continue to snag innocent nuns, Congressmen, toddlers for name mismatches and additionally lists the president of Bolivia as a security threat.

“I personally think the no-fly list should be abolished,” Soghoian said, “but if Congress decides that it wants a no-fly list they should make it work. Right now it’s broken.”
