Perhaps you should stay at home and cower under the covers.
I can go on an airplane with an ID and enough items that are still allowed and cause damage if that was my intent.
Or I can enter a Federal 'installation' as they call it without showing ID AND get weapons and explosive devices or guns inside if that was my intent too.
If someone intends to kill themselves in the process of killing you, there ain't a whole that you can do and showing an ID card to a moron who doesn't know what he's looking at ain't gonna help you neither.
Quit worrying about your pathetic life and start being free.
I think you're basically right. The 9/11 hijackers had valid, government issued ID.
Yet somehow there are people that are convinced that showing that ID to government agent magically makes the flight "safer."
Well, you showed ID? Must not be a hijacker then. All right, onto the plane with you. Very good. No problem here.
Do you get this irrational when a cop asks you for your ID at a traffic stop? When they ask you for ID to cash a check you must really go ballistic.
Tell you what, the next time you are at an airport, tell them, "I can go on an airplane with an ID and enough items that are still allowed and cause damage if that was my intent."
Use those exact words.
So, what kind of "damage" do you fantasize that you can do with "items that are still allowed"?
Blow up the aircraft?
Force your way into the cockpit and crash the aircraft?
Injure or kill a stewardess or two before the other passengers beat you to death?
