I never understood the emphasis on ID when flying. I mean the point is to make sure you aren&#x27;t carrying a bomb or a weapon. What difference does it make what your name is? Ideally it shouldn&#x27;t, so why are we moving further and further away from the ideal?<p>In fact, doesn&#x27;t it seem rather ominous to think that governments are starting to track everything about us, including everywhere we go at all times? They tell us it is for our security, but aren&#x27;t the reported circumstances that have led us to require such levels of security due to government failures to begin with?
