I believe that the founders gave a document that the states gave up only that which is specifically stated in the constitution and all other powers remained in the states. Any attempt by the federal government to usurp power from the states is a violation of the constitution. However, I would be hard pressed to find more than two justices on the supreme court to agree with me. Right now I think Scalia is the most federalist justice on the supreme court right now.



No that is not what i am saying. The only thing I am saying here is that the ID checkers have no training in what they are actually doing. I honestly would feel better if the TSA agents were checking the ID's. At least then there would be a consistency in who is checking the ID's, and they would have been trained in the whole aspect of security. Further, then there is at least a commoniality in function that shows at least a multi-layer approach to security. However, I do not think this is the real case.
