Sec-Dec 96-05 para. 1 sec. C-- still relevant?

Howdy all;

Anyone know if with the war on freedom and such, the oft-cited Security
Directive 96-05's paragraph 1, section C, is still relevant/able to be
used?

For those unfamiliar;

1. IDENTIFY THE PASSENGER -

snip

C. IF THE PASSENGER CANNOT PRODUCE IDENTIFICATION, OR IT CANNOT BE
RECONCILED TO MATCH THE TICKET, THE PASSENGER BECOMES A "SELECTEE."
CLEAR ALL OF THEIR LUGGAGE AS NOTED IN SECTION 6, BELOW.

Section/paragraph 6 goes on to explain how to search a selectee's
luggage, etc.

Any info would be much appreciated-- especially with citations/links to
official sites/texts/statutes... if I'm forced to show papers, I'd
prefer to try that type of paper first. ;-)

Cheers,
S

Nothing like impartiality and due academic rigour.

Consider me friendly but disgruntled.

And in practicality, anyone who'd argue (time consuming) versus show
the ID (fast) is likely doing it as a statement.

Cheers

Sorry, I thought you were writing an academic paper on the subject but
I do have a suggestion though. Get a fake Al-Qaeda membership ID card
made up with a picture of you flipping the bird - show it the next time
you're asked for ID at the airport. Better yet, just stay home and
double up on the Leponex.

This is information you may find by looking on http://www.tsa.gov or by
doing a Google search.

Yes, but was hoping someone out there's actually tried it; even
pre-9/11, it was difficult to convince airline folk that the law
required them to *ask*, not *get*, identification.
