In the past year, I've put in about 80k air miles in the US, France, Germany, and Japan. Except for international terminals that check passports before security, I have *never* been asked for my ticket before going through security. That said, the first alert I saw was actually from the security teams at either SFO or SJC (I don't remember which). It was also recently featured on one of the news programs on television (which I caught in a hotel fairly recently). That doesn't mean that it's not urban legend, but I think it has some level of validity. However, I suspect that the publicity has pretty much squashed the effectiveness. I still keep my eyes on my bags, and actually arrange them on the belt in a way that allows me to be sure that I can see the notebook case when it emerges. -- Steve Hultquist, President Worldwide Solutions, Inc.
