So it seems that Southwest, while it's the only airline that appears to have been relatively undamaged by the recent 9/11-related airline woes, has had to alter a few fundamentals in its trademark process in the interest of security. Namely, they can't just give out those plastic boarding cards anymore; they also have to print out a little "Boarding Document" card and write the number from the plastic card on it. They also require both the plastic and the paper cards and your ID in order to board.
Not that I'm complaining; it's all relatively transparent to me (just one more thing to hold onto, and one more checkpoint where I need to pull out my wallet), but it's interesting to see the various concessions that each airline has had to make lately.
