So! I am not impressed by the fact it is a federal facility. That simply means we paid for it. Do federal employees get special protection (????) not offered to the rest of us? What makes them so special just because they get paid by us? Are they a higher class citizen? Why not show your ID no matter where you go on a public bus or do you think like I do that this will come soon enough? Being employed by the feds should never entitle you to special treatment. However, if the feds want to ask for ID for someone getting off the bus then that is a horse of a different color.
I agree with you and I don't expect the future to hold a better level of respect for mere citizens. I am beginning to understand what the slowly boiled frog feels like.
