No matter which airport you travel through or how many times you travel through it, one element remains the same - the security check(s).
Whether you're asked to take off your shoes, put your laptop in a separate bin, or leave it all together and walk through one of the many x-ray machines, there's no bypassing the security check.
This applies to the confirmation that your ID matches the ticket information and all the necessary components.
Around the perimeter of an airport, access is strictly controlled.
Security won't allow you to linger too long at the curb when dropping off or picking up passengers.
When dropping off your checked luggage, an airline agent will first ask for your boarding pass - and your ID, validating your identity.
Before you enter the security line, there may be another process to check your ticket, making sure you get into the correct line.
In the security line, the TSA agent checks your government-issued ID once again.
After successfully passing through the baggage checkpoint, travelers are granted temporary, low-level access to the airport.
Instead of being given free rein to go everywhere, travelers are restricted to a particular area: the terminal.
During the boarding process, each ticket is scanned once again to ensure that each traveler is gaining access to the correct plane.

While the ins and outs of airline travel and zero trust content security may be complex behind the scenes, the practical applications are simple.
