However redundant showing IDs is, if a suicide bomber knows that fed police board the bus, they might pick another target. I don't have a problem showing my ID. I don't have anything to hide.

And if you forget your wallet, but have enough cash in your pocket to pay the bus fare? Then what??

Homeless people who often ride buses, often don't have ID either.

Just another reason not to ride the bus.

And as the security guard approaches the person on the bus and asks for the ID, the homocide bomber blows up himself and surrounding persons.

You're new here, aren't you?

It's that kind of "I don't have anything to hide" approach which will eventually erode all of the Bill of Rights, including unreasonable search and seizure, and the right to keep and bear arms.

What happens when you forget your ID one morning and take that bus? You get pulled off and get ticketed, and lose your job (as the woman in this case did) as a perceived 'no-show'?

Me thinks you wouldn't be so cavalier with that 'well, I have nothing to hide' attitude.

That's what you think.
