It would be really easy for someone to steal your credit card and buy and use an airplane ticket.

First they buy the ticket with your credit card information. Then they pick up the e-ticket from a kiosk just using your name to print it out. Then, when they’re asked to present boarding pass and ID at all the security checkpoints, all they need is a fake ID with your name and their picture.

Now, it’s pretty easy to dispute the charges as fraudulent, but you would think these kiosks would require more ID than just your first and last name and your destination city. — BEN POPKEN
