Flying Faster Without ID

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-feel-so-safe dept.

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."

    This isn't about "terrorism".

    This is about demonizing a group so that the rest of society can "unify" to "defeat" the "bad guys".

    And as for the "more harm than good", you just have to read the papers.
