NH: Man without I.D. vows to board flight or be jailed

Well, I hope he's ready to review the "Constutional Gaurantee for right to Air Travel" with the judge and jury when the time comes.

In addition, if it's an airline policy and not governmental policy he's already lost. Even if it's not airline policy, the government certainly has a right to expect reasonable oversight after 9/11. An ID simply isn't asking that much.

Bodily searches, OTOH, and I'll throw my share of stones...

Why is an ID necessary if you've already been searched?

"Well, I hope he's ready to review the "Constutional Gaurantee for right to Air Travel" with the judge and jury when the time comes."

According to the 10th Amendment any power not expressely given to the Federal government by our Constitution is reserved for the states or the people. I may have the wording a little off but the gist is that the individual and the states don't need the Constitution's blessing to do something...Federal government does.

The Constitution enumerates the legitimate powers of government. If it isn't clearly stated in the Constitution, then government is coloring outside the lines.

A free people have EVERY freedom not explicitly limited by the legitimate powers of government.

Our Founders were very VERY smart. They knew the world would change. That is why the Constitution LIMITS government, while giving people UNLIMITED freedom.

Any government official who fails a quiz on this topic should be summarily executed for capital stupidity.
