Unless you think its all a joke, the recent TSA requirement for CFI's
to register with them, and do their own bookkeeping. making a database
at your expense, all in the name of national security, take another
look at what is happening.
H.R.10 and S.2774 for a National Identity Card are right behind it.
I've been warning of this for over 20 years and now its happening
while we sleep.
Not sure about you all but I sure as hell am making some noise about
it.If you want to be stopped on the street and asked for your papers,
and get locked up for not having them, ..........
Better take a stand now before its too late.

I don't want to start a flame war, but I have carried an ID card since 1946
and it has had no adverse effect on my life.

When was the last time you were stopped on the street for no apparent
reason and asked to produce your ID card under threat of being thrown in
prison without due process if you happened to forget it at home that day?

Unfortunately, it is a nice neighborhood, and aside from wearing a

How would it have gone had you not been in front of your own house, and had you
forgotten your ID?
Is this the way you want to live?

They didn't care that I was in front of my house. I had no way to
prove that it was my house because I didn't have any ID showing where
I lived. I was on my nightly walk and for some reason had emptied my
pockets earlier. I offered to go in to get it, but they wanted no
part of that. After like 15 minutes, they finally wrote down my name
and "supposed address" and made it clear they'd be watching for me
lurking around town. (Lurking is not a quote, but is definitely the
impression they gave).

Not a chance. Unless I'm wrong I was responding to a post that made
it sound like this was impossible. I'm walking proof that it is, and

Selway.... I think you may be exaggerating..
I read parts of S.2774 to show a "standard" for "state" issued ID cards..
like drivers licenses.. that they all meet certain standards prior to issue
to conform to critera and confirm the proper identification of the
individual on the card... before the "national" or "federal" authorities
will accept them as "proper id"

BT I doubt I'll be alive to see it, but you can mark this one down in
bronze. Once the national ID card is law, and it will be, the social
security number will be your personal national ID number, and sometime
in the future there will be a provision for that number to be
imprinted/implanted in/on your body to be read by special equipment
that only your benevolent government will have (or so it will be
claimed) and all they have to do is point said equipment at you to
know all they need to know. It will all be on one big data base. It
isn't hard at all to show this theory at work either. Prized animals
already have this technology in use and its a short step to convince
some young mother that her children should have this protection too
and once they grow up with it, ..."well I've had it all my life so
what is wrong with it?..." and so it goes.

An aggressive cop stopped me in my quiet neighborhood a few months ago and
demanded ID. I was taking a late night walk in sweat pants to burn off a
few calories. I told him I didn't have any ID and was in my own
neighborhood not bothering anybody and unaccustomed to being accosted by an
officer pulling his cruiser over into my path, blocking me. Then did he
ever become hostile and told me to take my hands out of my pockets. I did
as he said until they became cold and back into my pockets they went. This
time he threatened me with handcuffs and jail, and then he went off the
charts when my hands went back into their pockets. "Take them out!" he
snapped.
"No, I won't," I said, as I turned my pockets inside out to show him there
was nothing in them "and if you arrest me you'd better have a damn good
reason in law for it." He began to reach for me as if to grab my arm and I
quickly stepped back, pulling away from him. "Now you've assaulted me," I
said. "I have lived here in this town for the better part of two decades,"
I said firmly, "and this is the first time in my experience I have been
menaced by a law officer."
"I am NOT 'mentacing' you," he says.
He was so taken aback he went completely silent for a moment, then said,
"OK, move along then." Which I did, almost leaving in a trot. Off he went
in the other direction spinning his wheels and screeching his tires.

I wish I could believe that you are exaggerating. But I've known a
couple of young policemen, and sadly enough I can imagine this scene
taking place with them. The reason "Police Academy" was so funny is
that it was so true. (I am thinking of the SWAT team wannabe.) The job
does attract some marginally psychotic types.
I live in a town that's full of joggers, so I don't think it could
happen here. But I have been pulled over for running a stop light
(right turn on red) when I had slowed sufficiently to shift into first
gear! To my mind, that's safer than ensuring the car is motionless.
The sooner you get out of a situation, the better.

And it wasn't all that many years back that it wasn't required to get
it at birth as it is now! Many didn't get it until they got their
first job and it was required by their employer. Think of how recent
it has been, relatively speaking, since the SSN started to show up on
drivers licenses, then pilot certificates, then as a military ID
numbers? Slowly but inexhorably it is going to full control with that
damned number and all the rest of what I have been saying.
