[yer gonna put yer eye out]

Not avoiding any questions here...
There are people in this country who are not allowed on airline flights...This check adds another layer of safety, in that i.d.'s can help vet these people from boarding...(note the word "help")

[Publius Valerius]

The 9/11 hijackers had government issued IDs. Were those flights any safer because everyone showed ID? Just curious.

Maybe we could coin a term--a "saf." It's a measure of safety. "Well, the plane did fly into a building, but don't worry, everyone on board had at least a 9 'saf' level."
