  1. Re:A progression? on Northwest Airlines Wants Eye-Scan Check-in · · Score: 1
    Unless someone buys it for you.

    I'll give you your other points about fake IDs, but someone else CANT buy tickets for you. The ticket needs to be purchased by you or an immediate family member. The card, also, needs to be presented at check-in time.

    My folks, on their yearly vacation this year, went to check in, but mom had purchased the tickets 9 months before on her CC. The bank had since been bought, and new cards were issued. Her and my dad got taken aside to a secure room, and all their stuff searched.

    Ever wonder why Greenland is called Greenland? Hint: it used to be a greener when they named it a few centuries back.
