Not on internal flights in Norway. Not at Trondheim at least. There the whole process is automated and handled by the customer. It goes like this:

- drop bag on the belt

- present the credit card used to buy the ticket

- attach the baggage tag that gets printed

- record your thumbprint

- go through security

- walk to the gate and use your thumbprint to enter the gate area

- The gate staff just count people on to the flight.

I fly out of Stuttgart, Germany, with Eurowings a lot and if it wasn't for the payment process, I could fly completely anonymous, i.e. even under a fake name. Not possible to pay in cash AFAIK, and having a credit card or a checking account under a fake name is much more difficult.

If I even have a bag to check, I present the boarding pass to the machine. After that, there is no thumbprint check, no ID check, no photographs, nothing. Even internationally (within Schengen).

The thumbprint is optional at Trondheim I think. You can use your credit card instead. It's just a convenience for the traveller. There are no boarding passes.
