"ID Please"....."No"

I cannot believe that people have had the option of not showing ID when traveling by air. Some stupid loophole, which is now closed, allowed travelers to refuse to show ID if they agreed to go through a more thorough security screening. Their argument...I should not have to provide ID when traveling inside their own country. Granted! I agree. But, dumb ass, when you buy a ticket, the airline knows who you are and frequently require you to show ID when getting your ticket. Don't you think that the government already knows you are traveling? That information is open to the government because the airline checks the Terrorist Watch List. You did buy the ticket, right?

Airline safety is a real issue. You can't travel by air and be anonymous. The government checks you when you buy a ticket. You can't really hide when traveling by air. Wake up!
