Travel security

It has come to my attention that the feared US air securty TSA folks operate a lower standard of ID check that the lowley Northlink ferries traveling to a small island in the middle of the north sea — by boat.
Northlink now require photo ID, this is a little twitchy, as there is really very little you can do to a boat… i supose you could hijack it, steam it down to london (where you would arrive after about 3 days, having asked nicelly at some port half way to borrow some fuel) then ramraid a giant ferris wheel, but really?
On the other hand in america you can hapilly fly without any photo ID at all, as can be seen in this artical:
