But 'going thru TSA', you do that with your picture ID and ticket...Fake ID?

Let's back up. When you go through TSA your boarding pass is matched with an actual traveler person. If she is not using fake id, there is a record of her passing through security and being in terminal area. If she then purchases a ticket under fake name (not sure if that is even possible without some kind of id, but assuming you can) and now boards a flight, that fake person will turn up on some flight manifest, but there will be no record of that fake person having passed through security. Additionally, there will be no record of KA having boarded a flight. Very easy to check something like this. Hard to see how to do this without false id or someone helping her; say, purchasing a boarding pass and handing it to her in the secure area. She would then need to use the same name to purchase other tickets in other airports; again, assuming you can do this without id |

Where in the World is Kaitlin Armstrong?
Boarding passes aren’t a physical thing anymore. They send them to you on your phone. It can have any name on it. It doesn’t have to match an ID. She is already past TSA.
This is one of the many reasons people say the TSA is useless! Last edited by Mike V; 06-07-2022 at 07:20 AM. |

But even when you check in on the phone don’t you still have to go to the machine?
You most definitely do if you flying international |

I have a questions. Since all this happened in Austin wouldn't it have been easier to drive to Mexico City and fly out from there?

We may never know. She had a few days to scramble and presumably put together a plan. If she gave everyone the slip, especially with air travel involved, my overwhelming guess is she has an accomplice in this

im in Sayulita atm. Lots of yoga and crunchy types. Do you guys want me to ask around?
Seriously though, if she is in Mexico with a fake ID she is gone. It would be so easy to disappear and reinvent a new life here if one wanted. Kaitlin, if you are reading this... oh, never mind. to keep it cycling related, lots of gravel down here in Nayarit guys. Here for surfing but wouldn't mind bringing a bike next trip. |

Where are you flying that they don't check your ID at the TSA checkpoint? They definitely do at Dulles and National, even for domestic. IIRC, they scan the boarding pass, then scan the ID - presumably their computer matches the names on both. Either way, they're at least looking at a photo ID. Now, if the name isn't flagged, that won't matter (and I have no idea if Armstrong was flagged nationally).

If that's the norm now, KA is gone...and undoubtedly she had help(parents)..they do so at great risk to their freedom tho...but not sure I wouldn't do the same thing, in spite of the ****e-show KA has 'allegedly' created.

She could cut her hair real short in an airport bathroom, put a hat on, get a new shirt - boom - she's invisible. Trust me that part works - I saw plenty of movies in the '80's about people on the run!

If you fly and travel a lot then you know how easy it is to get lost if you want to. It is easy.
International takes some thinking but it can be done. It’s just not as fast and convenient. |
