Flying Faster Without ID

jjh37997 writes "A Homeland Security's privacy advisory committee member finds that flying without a photo ID is actually faster than traveling with proper identification. According to Wired the committee member, Jim Harper, accepted a bet from civil liberties rabble-rouser John Gilmore to test whether he could actually fly without showing identification. He found that traveling without ID allowed him to bypass the long security lines at San Francisco's International Airport, and get in faster than if he had provided his driver's license."

    How about you shut the fuck up you freedom-hating unamerican asshole? How the fuck does volunteering yourself for a more thorough search affect the safety of anyone else on that flight in any way? They didn't just wave others through because he went through a different search. Everyone else was still searched just the same. People like you are why unconstitutional shit like the patriot act gets passed. Get the hell out of my country and move to someplace more suiting your values, like Iran or Saudi Arabia.
