They? I guessed someone has reached the end of the road to serfdom.
Imagine a military base with several buildings, with a checkpoint at the entrance.
Imagine this is not a military base but a federal office building.
By the way, according to another tread, she purposefully took this bus knowing the situation when she could have taken other busses to her destination
Apparently not:
It started when Mrs. Davis began commuting to her new job in Lakewood aboard an RTD bus that made a regular stop at the Denver Federal Center. Each time, federal police boarded the bus and asked passengers for ID.
Mrs. Davis produced her driver's license once, but it rankled her. The next few times, she begged off, saying she had left her ID at home. Finally, an officer told Mrs. Davis that she would need to show proof of her identity the following Monday.
And here's something else to consider
"I spent the weekend trying to decide if the Constitution had changed since I was in eighth grade, and I decided it hadn't," said Mrs. Davis, who has a son serving in the Army in Iraq.
Go Mrs. Davis. You got more guts than most. The following Monday, after the officers boarded the bus, one of them "asked me if I had my ID with me, and I said, 'Yes,' " she recalled. "Then he asked me if he could see it and I said, 'No.' "
>They own the land.
>>They? I guessed someone has reached the end of the road to serfdom.
Not even close. When they own all the land in the USA then yes. The Federal government has control over the land in question. Want to shut down the agencies and auction off the land? I would be all for it. Cut the size of Government by 90%? I am with you. But as long as they 'own' the facility they can restrict access.
>>Imagine this is not a military base but a federal office building.
It does not matter, same Federal governement, they can set the same rules. That was my point.
>By the way, according to another tread, she purposefully took this bus knowing the situation when she could have taken other busses to her destination
>>Apparently not: [...]
Apparently so, just like I said, on the day in question she knew this particular bus's special restriction but got on it anyway to challenge the rule.
