I see you are not answering my questions. Cannot stand to your own words can ya?


If I am not mistaken you are claiming that the bill of rights protects you from being identified based on being protected in your personal effects. Right?

HOGWASH, the bill of rights prevents abuse of such things as an ID not the proclusion of the ID itself.

The Bill of Rights establishes that warrantless searches may not be conducted on individuals. Do you believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty? If so, then you cannot approve a demand for papers without a warrant, because it implies that the person is a suspect, rather than a free and innocent man attending to his own business. I really hope you are not one of those people who believes everyone's a criminal.

That being said, if the airlines want you do show an identification before they sell you a seat on their privately owned carriers, they can do that, and they can choose the id of their liking or even issue you one themselves. But for the federal government to interfere, for them to require that you only use an ID of their issue and requiring you to hold one, so that they can keep track of you, well that violates all sorts of rights that US citizens are supposed to have.

If you are aware, too, you will note that they federal government is letting banks accept the matricular phony consular cards as ID, and it has no standards for accuracy at all. You should well wonder why the federal government has a lower standard of identification for illegal aliens, while enforcing draconian and unconstitutional standards on US citizens.
