No disgusting government agency should ever be able to dictate the means by which people travel freely.

With your theory all OLCI pax who normally have the convienience of not interacting with airline employees and going to the gate now have to show an ID to agent. All this when it could be checked when he is going through security anyway. It would be so much more inconvienient.
The so-called no-fly list is so inaccurate that there are children and dead people on it. Mr psycho can get someone else's ID and still go bezerko on a flight. Furthermore, not even a small fraction of Mr/Ms Psychos are even on this sick, disgusting, un-American 'list'. Is a list so full of false positives even remotely effective? Hell no. Furthermore, there's no recourse for those falsely accused and put on this list.

Those responsible for the no-fly list should be caned and the list and their careers permanently destroyed.
