Then they win. This issue i coming to a head. National ID drivers’ licenses require you take SS card, birth certificates, and/or a host of documents to DMV. I wouldn’t, so my license is marked “NOT FOR FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION”. TSA will prevent people from travelling, wherever and whenever they can.
I don’t fly. I love to fly. I have been in more light planes than commercial planes in the last decade (I do not pilot aircraft myself) I fly only for long trips. This goes back to 9/11 and Bush (obviously some of the BS is needed to prevent another terrorist attack) If I need to be across the nation and in a few days I fly. If I need to be 500-600 miles I drive.
I don’t cut off my nose to spite my face. It is not worth the aggravation to put up with their BS if it is a day trip or less. I prefer my own company in my own vehicle than the sardine can reality of much air travel and the BS that one must go through to get into said sardine can.
Texas has required those to get a driver's license for over 15 years. Men have to PROVE they aren't "deadbeat dads" by providing their SS# (a requirement, the other document can vary) to get a driver's license (even a replacement).
What's utter horsesh!t is that in that time, they've also been collecting a fingerprint from EACH hand (what, in case you lose one?) yet they do not use that biometric information to provide a replacement card (you must again present the legal documents).
