I have opinions here but I'm looking for other opinions to better inform myself. I never claimed to have any kind of monopoly on anything. I don't deal with airline screening so a lot of things that happen in that arena I'm ignorant of. I try to learn and ask questions about them. So my opinions and feelings on the issue are malleable. In my area I'm an expert. Security screening isn't it.

But if you come at me with an attitude then I'm more likely to ignore you. I doesn't help your case.
Would you like to me show you how to enable the "ignore" function?

You make comments here that are incorrect and continue to make the same statement even after factually it is shown how you are incorrect on that item. In fact I don't recall reading your comment about a TSA aviation security inspector deciding to search your home to see how many US citizens versus non-US citizens you have dealt with. Object to the search, no problem only a $10k fine.

Better still your explanation if an individual TSA screener (or aviation security inspector) does something unconstitutional, that is the error of the individual not the agency such as the TSA. Sounds good except the TSA actually has published these rules and those "individuals" (a lot of them at the same time/same place by the way) were following those very rules. But heaven forbid that we say what the TSA is doing is unconstitutional, just the actions of those who are following those rules.

But I can suggest if you wish to make comments on how "ID is required for air travel whether operator or passenger", here is a link to the FAA web site which contrary to the TSA, does indeed publish all of its regulations that it holds the public accountable to.

http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text....1.1.2&idno=14

Please let me know where you find that ID is required prior to operating an aircraft or even boarding an aircraft. And of course your question I really liked, where a flight plan is required.

TSAdude1 has actually called me before on an issue that he disagreed with. Perhaps you could do the same and I'll step you thru on the phone how to set your forum preferences to ignore of my postings. That way you won't feel offended in a truthful delivery of facts rather than "well this is what I think".
