Just a couple of clarification points;

Rest assured, without unions (ALPA, IPA, and the APA), it more than likely would not have happened. So they may have "nothing to do with it" as it currently runs, without them we wouldn't have had it. UPS (IPA), AS (ALPA), and AA (APA) were the frontrunners on on it.

That, along with a photo, passport number, employee number, airline code, etc.
Is it a fail safe system? Nothing really is, but there's a pretty healthy amount of built in layers. On a side note, is sure is hell with CASS, or just one company's server goes down.
