No name required. I'm not even limited to that routing .... but might have to pay more. The difference: it's a train! Even after Madrid, and London, it seems that security theatre is closely contained to flights. Why is that? Curiously, the other day I paid cash for an international ticket. No name required.

The "insistence of Congress"? I don't think so. I applaud a TSA official for having a clue and using the phrase "security theatre" but I don't think Congress insisted on this. This was just another knee jerk reaction from the TSA. Nice try trying to deflect the blame.
