Is There A Major Loophole In Airport Security?
Is There A Major Loophole In Airport Security?
If You're Under Eighteen, You Can Board An Airplane With No Identification

EL PASO, Texas -- Most people may not realize this, but anyone under 18 years old can walk into an airport, go through security and board an airplane without showing any form of identification.
KFOX14 news reporter Ric Dupont discovered this possible security loophole while dropping off his own 15-year-old son, Jacid Dupont, at the El Paso International Airport.
Mark Momsen, the transportation federal security director for El Paso said if it were to require kids and teenagers to show identification in order to board an airplane, most of them wouldn’t be able to fly.
The big questions here are simple: Is this a major loophole in our national security? Can a well-trained terrorist organization take advantage of this knowledge and send a terrorist onto an airplane in America?
The TSA doesn’t have any plans to change this rule, and it told KFOX14 it’s confident that through different tactics, like analyzing behaviors, it has the situation under control.
