That's a silly misrepresentation of the facts of the case. There *is* no law
requiring the presentation of ID at an airport. There *is* a law that makes
it illegal to hijack a plane, and there *are* security directives, issued by
the FAA, which define the means and methods by which the law will be
enforced. Among those is the requirement to show ID upon request. The
security directives are secret because you don't show your hand to the enemy
(except if you work for the New York Times.)
Actually the law that was public said the airport folks have to ask you
for such an ID, not that you need to present one (IANAL). Gilmore was
punching that button. That's why they can't find out the text of the
law, 'cause it ain't there.
cheers, bob
