Showing the ID in this case serves no purpose.

How can you know this? Just because you say so doesn't mean it's true.

Shouldn't the burden be on the government (and its defenders) to justify its restrictions on the liberties of the people?

Because I do. Yes, it does.

Seriously, you tell me how flashing an ID card improves security? Do they disallow oldsters teenagers who don't drive? Or children? Or Green Card Holders? Or international spies with fake IDs?

The public bus line traverses a business park that houses government facilities and offices, not into the secure work areas of military or national security agencies. Like I said, check those that disembark, not those that simply traverse.

What did you miss? what do you know that we don't?

She simply was riding a bus thru its course. The ID was not examined in any way. Merely HAVING and ID was apparently sufficient, which is grossly insufficient for security as apparent to any sane observer.
