so what? That's why there is ID check at the scurity and sometimes the gate. And don't tell me that a gate agent is better at checking ID than security. Both give the pictures the same short look

so what? yes it will cause delays as the luggage is taken off the plane since the passenger is not on board. Happens to me once a month anyways. Not an issue as manifest is compared to luggage

irrelevant for this specific discussion. Check-in is before ID check. Relevant if anybody ever replaces in-person security with iris scanning only, which I find unlikely
