I purposely don't bring my ID with me on flights. Every time. Sure you get searched, but bypassing the line is sweet. It only backfires in small airports with no line.
So, do you carry your identification with you but pretend to forget it in large airports?
Yes.
There was a time when I genuinely lost my ID, which is how I learned this neat trick. I've found that I don't need the actual license while driving as long as I know the number.
That task is very US centric.
Since photos are required on national IDs in most countries, and on passports anyway it's nearly impossible and possibly illegal (without any awesomeness that would make it worth it) elsewhere.
If the controls are sloppy and don't check - the result is that you are in the plane. That's not very awesome, unless you would never be allowed to be there in the first place.
This is actually way easier than 75 points. I have done it more than once.
Actually, if you tell the person at security that you forgot to bring your ID, they will take you aside and search you... and then, miraculously, you're on the other side of the checkpoint, having bypassed the entire line.
