Yep. They'll be making a point to TRY and find an ID. It'll make today's wallet searches look trivial.

How long before what seems to be a proscription against flying if you refuse to provide ID is challenged?
I hope it's soon. And I hope that there is huge media coverage of cases where folks who are dealing with a family crisis, and have lost their ID, are accused wrongly of willfully refusing to show ID and are denied the ability to see a loved one before they pass.

This is simply a power play to demonstrate that they have the power over the people.
