Most rational conservatives do not find it outrageous to require someone to show a drivers license to board a plane during a time when our enemies have sword to use our planes to kill us.

One earlier poster saw the ID requirement as "licking the boots of our master." Statements like this render kook status on those who post them.

With all due respect to Ben Franklin, I can easily flip his famous statement around: Those who would give up security in exchange for temporary liberty deserve neither.

Ya could, but I wouldn't advise it. It sounds really, really stupid.

Maybe you should realize and remember that safety is a feeling and not an absolute. And all of this stupid security stuff may make you feel safe, but it doesn't really make you safe. And when you have a false sense of security like that is when you are most vulnerable to harm.
