Amnesty and my membership in the Republican party

Of course they can. They can do a lot of stuff that they don't necessarily do.

I would extend my earlier public/private to include my person. My person is private unless there is probable cuase to determine otherwise.

And I agree, Morrigoon - I'm not wanting to carry my "papers" at all times.

However, do you have a "right" to fly? Is it worth enough to you to fly to go through the added security? Apparently so. How did this impose upon your freedom to go where you wanted? Were you told you coudn't go or delayed?

Too many people confuse inconvenience with restriction of freedoms.

Have you ever heard of the No-Fly List? Are you aware that it's absurdly easy to be almost arbitrarily put on this List, and next to impossible to get yourself off?

The draconian measures you seem to view as at least a crease in the sand are happenening.

Perhaps on a smaller scale than a police state, but they've begun nonetheless. And the people who put them in place, and many who would come into power after them, would not stop at requiring you to have your papers on you at all times.


(And far worse, I'm afraid)
