The Post claims, without attribution, that an "estimated 1-2% of
passengers will not be allowed to fly and may be arrested," If that's
true, that's shockingly high.

I especially like the line about protecting the public from sitting
next to terrorists and "wanted ax murderers."

Look around, there must be 1-3 of those on every large plane...the
government couldn't be trying to make us afraid, could it?

Not make you afraid. Not our government. How else could they get
bright new control power. FFM

and then there's the latest gummint BS about ability to get fake driver's
licenses. They seem to think that having a real (or unreal) driver's
license makes a difference. Identification is relative and until we go to
implanted micro devices with constant "phone home" hook-up, there is no
"real identification" (as in surety of identification of the person)
