Old article I just encountered today.

So if I were a motivational speaker who lived in a van down by the river, could they tell me my license plate number?
I guess I'd be hosed if I lived in a cardboard box under a freeway overpass.

The government has rules and regulations for everything. You are violating some kind of law right now. If the government wants to be nice, they can be nice. The TSA was nice in the story just posted. If the government wants to exert power, it will exert power. The local police wanted to flex their muscles in the story just posted.
It's the Floyd Ferris thing from Atlas Shrugged. They don't make laws because they want you to follow them. They make laws so that you break them, and then they have grounds to control you. They just don't do it in a mean way 100% of the time. Yet.

I’ve been to Holland, Germany, Belgium, France more than a few times, but have never used a passport, or even owned one before or during those travels.

A few months ago I was crossing into the US from Quebec and the US immigration guy was having a bad day so he decided to give me a hard time.He told me that he thought I was up to something so he asked many questions.When I told him I was retired from health care administration he asked me "where's the Mayo Clinic?".Anyone with knowledge of health care knows where it is and I responded "Rochester,Minnesota".At that point I guess he came to believe me and let me through without searching me or my car (I was clean...but I didn't want the hassle).

The article is kind of batty.
Anyone can determine the color of any house they have an address for using itouchmap.com.
You can also get the geodetic coordinates of the center of the lot there. If you wish to know the NAVD88 elevation, just click on the “terrain” button.

Yep. You weren’t expecting them to let actual security interfere with the TSA Kabuki theater were you?

“How did they know the color of my house?”
Google Maps Street View. Got address? house color in about 10 seconds.

A few years ago, NJ didn’t have picture ID on the driver’s licenses. It was just a card with the usual info on it, but no pic. I was in Denver visiting my daughter and was in a supermarket. I tried to use a traveler’s check to pay for the purchase. Fine. But when they asked for my ID and saw no picture, they wouldn’t cash it.
I spoke to the manager who asked me if I had any other form of ID on me. Then it dawned on me!! I had recently been in China for 6 weeks — studying the language and had to have a special ID while there.And it had my picture on it -— however everything on the card was in Chinese! I explained it to the manager and she looked at it and at me and laughingly said OK! LOL!

Off-white house. 2 stories. Circular driveway. Red SUV.
Took a few minutes with only her name.
Using only my smartphone.

With all of the security and screening there is no reason they should even need to know our names. The only reason for the ID must be to track where we go.

I hope the nephew sued the Atlanta police for false arrest and imprisonment.
