That is unconstitutional. Look up the Lemuel Penn case. Nonsense. Domestic air travel requires the use of the interstate air traffic control system, and therefore is subject to regulation by Congress because of the Interstate Commerce Clause. If congress can require all passangers to show a state government id, it can require a Federal government id.
The Lemuel Penn case affirmed the right to interstate travel. It had nothing to do with requiring identification to board planes.
Give it up. You're grasping at straws. You have yet to make a single rational argument.

You have not, in my opinion, offered a rational proposal.
Furthermore, the right to interstate travel is NOT subject to having a passport. By requiring it, you run afoul of that case.
That passport can easily be abused to control aperson's movements. You might not care about that, but I certainly do. I do not want Hillary Rodham Clinton to be in power in an America where an internal passport would be required. She is far too likely to abuse that power.

"You have yet to make a single rational argument." I've been telling him that for years. Well, at least it seems like years. ;^)
