What does one have to do with the other? You are talking about DOB to get on a plane, not to walk in front of the embassy.

Amazing to me how much hatred of the TSA there is on FT. You all ***** and whine but never offer alternatives. Exactly what should they do? You don't like showing ID. You don't like giving DOB. You don;t like pat-downs. You don't like taking off your shoes. You don't like that they make you wait in line to go through.

So what is the alternative? Do we all just get on a plane like we do on a bus and hope for the best?
