Don't throw that boarding pass in the trash! They can be used for ID theft, shread it or burn it.

This is great information, Ray!

this is something we should all be aware of...the potential to have your id stolen from your boarding pass

Excellent info!

Do not throw your boarding passes away in your hotel room, when you arrive, either. Into your home shredder is the safest thing to do.

I have even seen boarding passes sticking out of the pocket in front of my airline seat.

Great article. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. I just got back from Costa Rica and was about to throw away my boarding pass.

I guess the one thing I have going for me is I'm on fraud alert because of the UT scandal. It is scary how much information some one can get off of a piece of paper.

Luckily, my frequent flyer access is password protected (and even I have trouble remembering!) And I refuse to post my passport number or anything of that nature on the Web.

Victoria, according to the article they buy a ticket in your name and it bypasses your password and then they can even change your info but that may only work on some airlines.
