How does Numm II sound?
I think he is trying to get to the point that you sould not be required to present ID to travel inside a country EVER, to operate a vehical maybe (I'm not thrilled with it) Any BTW before 9/11 you could just fly with a ticket sure you gave a name I've flown with tickets under the company name before even with all the same name (in a large group) this was all before 9/11. Now we have the 2 hour wait to go through a metal detector funny thats something that dosent work a sharp pen can be a weapon hell the 9/11 guys were using jail style shanks something that has been going through metal detectors for years.
Realy all the physical security improvements seem to be to placate the people. If you want security vs a suicide troops you better start looking elsewhere, it cant be done you cant stop the effect you have to stop the cause (I vote for utilizing large scale explosions in retaliation either the bombing will stop or the countries of origin will cease to exist to bad thats genocide) Unfortunatly fixing a problem isn't something you can legislate it requires real action. US style justice isn't setup to cope with somebody that cares less for there own life but more for there cause.
OK sorry for the rant. Oh if you think I'm incensitive to those that died I work at the NYC Medical Examiner and have seen more grusom things that TV can imagine related to the towers, I've also seen all the family members comming in to give DNA samples so we can try and give them some closure and soemthing to burry.
No sir I dont like it.
