A comment from another board regarding this story:
OK, you're a terrorist. When the guard asks for your ID you:
A) Say you don't have one.
B) Pull out your legitimate ID.
C) Pull out a handy forgery.
D) Blow his lungs out his ... with a 9 mm pistol.
All this terrorism prevention crap is very good at requiring us to be good little cogs in the machine, but not going to do much to stop a determined terrorist.
