by billso on 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.
