all

Posted Tuesday, 10 June 2008

Long airport lines, courtesy of pixthree Starting 21 June 2008, the TSA will bar anyone who refuses to show a valid identification card, passport or document from the secure areas of airports.

People who claim, state or lie that they left their ID at home will be given an extra physical search before being allowed to fly. This is the same treatment that anyone who wanted to fly without an ID card or document were getting in the past. Now the TSA bar anyone who admits that they want to fly without an ID.

More details are available at the Surveillance State blog on Cnet.
