...Khalid Shaikh Mohammed could still board a plane...

the House Homeland Security Committee was shocked by testimony from Debra Burlingame (the sister of the pilot of American Airlines flight 77 that crashed into the pentagon on 9/11) to that effect. she maintains that forged mexican identification cards could be used to board planes, open bank accounts, etc. to prove this, she submitted forged cards in the name of congressional committee members along with 9/11 mastermind KSM.

of course, some people oppose the real id legislation which toughens identification standards
