Fake Id's

The Associated Press: New ID Rules May Complicate Air Travel

Try this link for a recent AP report on issuing new Id's in the USA.

Personally, I had a fake id when I was 16, but that's only because the drinking age was 18.

I mostly disagree with the ACLU's principles including their recent propaganda to close Guantanamo but I do hear what the ACLU is saying in that creating a national data base of registrants information could be leaked or used in a manner not consistent with he laws of the USA.

Then again, is the sacrifice worth preventing another 911? I read somewhere that the terrorist pilot had 4 driver's licenses that, had the govt been able to cross reference, may have alerted us to his activities.
