You are already monitored !

Don't get me wrong, I fully support you when we're talking about the BS invented by the TSA, or we could start talking about the humiliating process when one as a tourist wants to enter the US (fingerprints, photos: hello ???), pre-transmitting of all sorts of data before boarding a flight to the US [by the way also for US citizens], but complaining about flashing an ID during check-in process ?
