I do nto diasgree with that hedge. Hence my support for searching every person that seeks to fly, just like the Israeli's do.
Please note that many who oppose an ID as infringment also claim that airline searches area violation as well.
Every private business cannot offer their own form of ID and expect to stay in business for very long. The scope is simply to briad in today's world. What that angle is....is impracticle. One solid ID is the best move forward.
Should that ID be protected under the law? DAMN right it should be. Protected from abuse, but not from use.
Israel doesn't have our Bill of Rights. So what they do is irrelevant.
If you'd rather feel safe than get trhere quickly....walk instead of fly.
