It’s been a while since I’ve flown from the US, but in Canada you don’t show ID until you’re boarding. Is don’t remember it being different, but I guess something must have changed?
What? You have to show ID art the ticket counter or kiosk to get your boarding pass. Security usually only looks at the boarding pass, then you have to show ID at the gate. That’s how it’s been in Canada as long as I can remember.
In the US, there’s a security checkpoint after check-in but before the gates. They check your ID and boarding pass there, then just your BP when boarding the plane.

In the US you show your ID to TSA at the security check point.

Yeah, people don’t consider it as showing ID when you scan it at an automated kiosk to get your boarding pass even though it is.
I usually just get my boarding pass by email, which doesn’t require ID, and at the kiosk you can just do it with your reservation number.

Interesting. In Canada security only checks your boarding pass, and they check ID at the gate as you’re boarding.
It seems logical if you want to verify that the right people are getting on the plane.
It’s all the same components just in different order. You have to scan your boarding pass to get on the plane.
This exists pretty much everywhere in the world.
That’s true of everywhere I’ve been, but the person I replied to seemed confused 😅 I’ve never been to Canada, so 🤷♂️
In Brazil it’s just the boarding pass until boarding starts.
I’ve had to show it at both security and boarding for a few years now. Both domestic and international.
