Homemade photo ID card accepted at airport

KCTV in Kansas City recently did an investigation into airport security. They proved that it doesn't matter what kind of ID you show when you try to board a plane, it will be accepted as long as it looks official.

They were able to create a homemade ID in about 15 minutes on a home computer. They used photograph, created a background, added some personal information and printed it out on photo-grade paper.

A magnetic strip was added and then the card was run through a basic laminating machine.

It worked. Airport screeners accepted the card as proof of identity.
