Comments on: Your papers please: TSA bans ID-less flight

Passengers refusing to show ID will no longer be able to fly, but those who say they have lost or forgotten their proof of identity will be able to fly.

The idea here is not to keep terrorists off flights. If it were, more rational methods would be used. The idea here is to condition citizens to accept invasions of privacy and to cooperate with "authority."

ID is important to a government that wants to control the movement of people. "Security" depends on who is defining the term.
I am interested in knowing what forms of ID are acceptable to these agents. I wonder if "government" simply wants more "volunteers" coming under compliance to contractual agreements offered by all the various agencies that issue licenses and such. In any case it doesn't matter to me personally as I have given up flying for several reasons including all the B.S. that goes on in the airport process. (Sure I have rights to travel - under my own power!)
I also think that the environment inside commercial airlines is unhealthy. Not my favorite place to be. On top of all that, the "inside job" of that infamous day in September tells me that at least a couple of the airlines have a lot of splanin to do!

Can you take a GPS on a domestic flight? If so, is it advisable to pack it in carry-on or checked luggage?
