Oh...and don't forget the old standby "interference with the screening process."
I thought Hibbel stated that you NEVER have to present picture ID to a LEO (unless driving a car -- then you need to show a DL). I thought the law said IF you were under investigation, then you had to truthfully state your name.
Of course, in an airport you'd have to show your BP but even then, I thought ID was only an airline requirement and they'd overlook that if the person was SSSScreened.
It'd be an interesting test case on "interference with the screening process" since presenting ID is not part of a valid screening process anyway. But for this to happen, somebody would have to be willing to be the test case, which would involve missing thier flight and numerous other hassels
