IDs are not required for domestic travel. The Government has said so in court. "Do You Want to Fly Today" - this is becoming a trite expression. Let me know when the bridge opens to Hawaii or the road to Juneau. Driving is not always a reasonable alternative. And if one does not have a license for the privilege of driving, then it may not be an alternative at all.
