When checking in with the gate agent in the morning in Newark; the agent was late and told us he didn't know how to get into [the computer].  Agent let us in the jetway without checking our ID's!  Our Purser asked if he wasn't going to check; how did he know we weren't terrorists?  He said we didn't look like them.  After telling the First Officer; he made a point of making us all come off with our luggage so he could write our names down.
