Besides 30,000ft and a few 100mph, what? As it stands, police could catch a lot of criminals by searching car passengers and checking their IDs.
The ID check is a check, not a search.
DOE vehicles require that all drivers and PAX have ID (Drivers are not allowed to pick up hitch hikers
). I am not sure about the TEXACO truck.
And you are correct. If you are willing to discount the altitude number of passengers and speed, there is not a lot of difference between a 747 and Chevy Impala. (Please bring back the older Impala SS's, circa 1995, if anybody on this board is in the decision making loop
)
