Although I agree with you about Dublin Airport being the pits, why do you say that not checking passports is a major security lapse???? I cant remember the last time my passport or photo ID was checked leaving Heathrow except by the gate staff as they do in Dublin, even on UK/Dom flights within Ireland where only photo ID is required if you have an eticket. Infact, I cant remember the last time my passport was checked leaving the United States by anyone other than the check-in agent!!! Some european countries do check passports but correct me if I am wrong but is this not only for passengers leaving a shengan state?????
And if you are flying to the states from Dublin you will have your passport and visas checked by US Immigration before departure, surely this is safer than most other airports with transatlantic services?
