[privacy] Real ID: More Looming Idiocy

[Alex Eckelberry]

You have to go through an extra security check.  But you can get on without an ID. 

And I believe you're going to get checked a couple of times after that just to be safe, even if you have an ID.  You get on some list.

>From the register article:

"In fact, he says, airlines are prevented by law from requiring any kind of ID."

  I've always had to show ID to get on a plane, even before 9/11.  If airlines are really prevented by law from requiring any kind of ID, how come they ask for one?  Although maybe they require ID to get the Ticket, but not to get on the plane?  Interesting....

Two interesting, yet disturbing, stories on the specter of Real ID

p.s. Also, this is a good time to point out (once again):
