Do you disagree that muhammed atta should have had to give up his ID when asked?

Suppose he did give it up? Suppose Tim McVeigh had done so as well? Apparently they would have just looked at it, checked to see that the picture matched his face, and sent him on his way.

How does that increase security?

Poor, sad law enforcement. Hamstrung by those pesky individual rights that our ancestors killed British soldiers over. So, so sad.

First, I notice that you dodged the questions.

Now, Several of the 9 11 hijackers had overstayed their visas. If they refuse to give up their ID they can hide that fact. When they can be detained until such time they are ID'd then the visa issue would come out. (you see this is 'more' being done after 9 11 that very well could have avoided the events of that day.

A major key to security is accurate identification.

You claim individual rights that folks died for...show me where, in the constitution, it says that you have a right to withhold your identity from a law enforcment official when they directly ask you for it.

Remember now your 4th and 5th arguments have already been struck down..... How about answering to me what you WILL allow law enforment officials to do????

It occurs to me that you have opposition without alternative solution. You strike me as the type that complained that MORE should have been done, and like the ACLU, has opposed EVERY MEASURE tabled or taken since 911 to accomplish that more for the future....all the while NEVER offering up what YOU think the more should be.

A cop asking you who you are is HARDLY unreasonable! In fact, it is part of their JOB!

Put your money ( alternative) where your mouth(opposition) is.
