    "The court rejected the argument, saying airport signs and airline workers give adequate notice that an ID is required."

Oh, that's really responsive. WTF ?!

Check this one out, though:
  • "The court noted that the secret regulations allow passengers to fly without providing an ID if they submit to searches'

So does that mean, if I submit to a search, i don't need an ID ???

In the following Septembers after y2001, I had been invited to Granma's house to visit. Each time, the local airport personnel (what's the etymology of this word? It looks suspicious) demanded ID., which I dont have; I only had a backpack of things with me to carry on but they tried *SO* hard to get ID...

"I can't give you what I don't have" was my entire refrain!

they took my shoes, my coat, backpack, and they scanned me up and down, front to back, inside and out!

During those days, I confessed to the Lord, I'll never fly again. I Think I can repent of that since joining SJ (thanks guys) I'm ready to be a pain in the azz now (grin)

and frankly, I miss my granma.
