"You Don’t Have to Show Any ID to Fly"

[allodial]

At the intelligence nexus of a brain trust I have found that to be true. I have heard of several hours being saved in line (accumulative) by carrying alternate ID. Often there is a screening for government-issued ID at the back end of the line. You get a special 'private' search and they board you. I have never been denied access to the federal courthouse too. They send the clerk of court out to welcome me in and escort me through the courthouse.

The day I was denied access to the Tenth Circuit courthouse the security guards watched me call the clerk on my cell phone and she took my $10 cash right in front of them, and handed me my case I had requested.

My feeling is that the ID requirements is a policy for guiding security officials. It is usually a "judge's order" from the chief judge.

Denying someone from accessing their inheritance and common property only because they wont swear to be a U.S. citizen seems rather fishy and unlawful--conspiracy against rights?

It seems that whenever somebody is buying a ticket online there is a NOTICE that they will need government-issued ID at boarding. It may simply be a fiduciary responsibility. If they turn away business...

Good stuff, allodial. I've heard firsthand accounts from friends who have gone through TSA checkpoints without TSA-sanctioned ID. Seems like the only issue is how much unlawful harassment does the man in the TSA costume wish to put you though. It would be fantastic to 'standardize' a manner of refusal to present ID, then disseminate the info so people can utilize it en masse.

Thanks for posting.
