Those who provide valid ID have nothing to hide, thus they wouldn't be terrorists (because they'd be found out). So, if you're afraid of disclosing who you are, you are suspect and THUS might be one prone to sabotage.

So your first argument is shot down: What does not providing ID have to do with keeping bombs off planes? The two are mutually exclusive and independent of each other.

of course I won't give out my SSN its totally irrelevant to proving my identity

According to whom?

Its not according to anyone - why you think that everything has to be authorised by some SPECIFIC agency is more part of your paranoia.

Logic dictates that if you have a photo ID (as in drivers license or passport), which is original and valid - that will suffice.

Your second argument is now shot down. I could keep going on shooting down all your premises but I'm just tired, and its not worth my time. Of course you'll go through all this AGAIN as you did last time, iota by iota, itemizing all the faults here too.

I don't provide ANY ID (valid or otherwise) for most daily activities. Sometimes I even provide "cat ID" (which is what a name and address might look like if a cat strolls across the keyboard) to those who have no right to know the real information.

Does that make me a terrorist?

I'm not "afraid" of it. I simply don't want to. Is that clear?

Try getting a driver's license or job without a social security number.

It's pretty clear we have some 'irreconcilable differences' here, so I'll close in saying that I hope you get the opportunity to live in your idealized little police state. Enjoy.
