The airline has a record of the passenger’s full name. Just compare the ticket to the parent’s drivers license.
Not all parents have the same last name as their children.
Good lord you mean they have would to ask a second question?
Depends on how far it goes. Kids aren't required to carry an ID to fly domestically. And as a parent I wouldn't carry their birth certificate everywhere. So if the name on the ticket isn't enough it would be quite the fucking problem.
As far as the lawsuit, it depends if the tsa was being dicks, if mom was being a dick etc. If it was a quick check and mom lost her shit because she thought it was based on race, or if security blatantly said it and mom lost her shit and it turned into a bigger deal.
TSA has nothing to do with this. A flight attendant made a bigoted judgement, and the Denver PD took it further.
It’s the TSA, of course they were being dicks.
But the airline isn’t responsible for what the TSA does with the report. They’re solely responsible for their employees actions. I doubt the lawsuit will go anywhere against the airline; unless they were being particularly offensive as well
You mean like you already have to do to get past security on the way to the gate, and again at the gate to get on the plane?
Did YOU read the article?
I did read the article. Guess I misunderstood. For that I apologize.
Oh Ok. That happens. No worries
Funny, when I do read the article, it very clearly states the mother and daughter were flying together. Here's the first two paragraphs. I've bolded the parts where it's clearly stated they were travelling together.
Read the article.
"The..."
That's definite-ly an article.
The very same ticket bought by the hypothetical human trafficker? Airports don't ID kids, so whatever name is on their ticket is just assumed to be theirs, meaning the name on the ticket matching the adult's ID isn't a verification of anything.
