I don't even show my ID when asked to by a store clerk if I am using my credit card.

I refuse to identify myself if I do not have to. I don't want my government forcing me to identify myself without a really good reason to do so. Traveling by air is not a really good reason. An airline wanting to protect its revenue is a more palatable reason to ask me for ID or at least some questions that would identify me as the purchaser/traveler, but when the government tells me I must show ID or be haraSSSSed when I fly, I want to tell that government to go pound sand and replace those in government responsible for such asinine mandates.
