3. Do not fly
current policy is:
1. Show ID and fly
2. Provide alternate means of identity and go through possible additional screening
3. Do not fly
I do not know what a court would rule on the new policy.
I DO know due process is not violated, because that part of TSA policy has not changed, and in gilmore the court ruled due process was not violated.
Is it possible a court will strike down current TSA policy? Perhaps. But it's also possible our courts will uphold TSA policy. If you know the answer, you are more wise than I.
I certainly don't know the answer and I still am not really sure of what happens if I just decline to show any ID document to TSA.
I am hoping that some form of alternative screening would commence but that point is still unclear to my mind.
I truly feel it is a simple question and thought the answer would be as simple.
Seems another case of TSA making something simple impossible to understand and implement.
