Christopher created a Northwest Airlines boarding pass generator that would allow creation of a boarding pass. With or without identification, a boarding pass is needed to pass the TSA security checkpoint.
This demonstrates by focusing on people (and their identification), the TSA is creating a false sense of security - a security theater that gives the appearance of security.
Some politicians have called for Christopher's arrest.
The recent 60 Minutes story revealed that the really bad terrorists are kept off the no-fly list, so that they would not be able to discover they are under surveillance.
If you can make your own boarding pass, refuse to show identification, and some terrorists are kept off the TSA no-fly list, what is the purpose of the no-fly list and the demand to present identification at the checkpoint?

Cloaking
Scientists create cloak of invisibility
By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, AP Science Writer Thu Oct 19, 9:49 AM ET
WASHINGTON - A team of American and British researchers has made a Cloak of Invisibility. Well, OK, it's not perfect. Yet. But it's a start, and it did a pretty good job of hiding a copper cylinder.
...
"The cloak reduces both an object's reflection and its shadow, either of which would enable its detection," said Smith.
In effect the device, made of metamaterials — engineered mixtures of metal and circuit board materials, which could include ceramic, Teflon or fiber composite materials — channels the microwaves around the object being hidden.
When water flows around a rock, Smith explained, the water recombines after it passes the rock and people looking at the water downstream would never know it had passed a rock.
The cloaking has to be designed for specific bandwidths of radiation.
