    They don't have nearly enough data screening going on. Depending on the airport/airlines, you can go to the wrong gate and give them your ticket and get on the wrong plan and not know you screwed up until you are in the wrong city. You would think this could never happen but it does.

    Years ago I was on a late night flight which made a brief stop in DC and ended in Newark, NJ.
