TSA Demands Internal Passport for Domestic Travel

Precedents exist for requiring citizens to produce special ID for domestic travel; they include Nazi Germany, apartheid South Africa and Russia (both Imperial and Soviet). Over the Christmas season, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) quietly announced that America was walking down that path. By 2016, all domestic air travel will require either a traditional passport or a federally-compliant ID card called "Real ID." State driver's licenses will no longer allow Americans access to domestic flights, as they do now. Real ID will constitute an internal passport.

And the sheeple still graze on American Idol, NFL "thug ball", scripted "reality" TV and the latest useless cell phone.

If this country does go down the porcelain facility, I doubt they'll even notice.; February 11, 2015 at 7:21 PM

If you mind having your balls fondled, stop going back for more...; February 11, 2015 at 7:41 PM

Objections?

Well they don't care about your objections, or your constitution and bill of rights. Just asked the judge they will tote out to tell you that you're wrong and everything they are doing is right, and constitutional! All to a chorus of "He's so fine" from the media, who couldn't be happier that all this is happening.; February 12, 2015 at 7:02 AM

Good thing I enjoy driving. Tsa can kiss my lily white ass.

Don't forget the roving TSA VIPER teams on the road. "Show me your papers! Get out of the car while we search it. We don't need no stinkin warrant!"; February 12, 2015 at 7:44 AM

William Munny said...: "Stop flying" my arse.
SCOTUS has ruled that "immigration" checkpoints are legal within 100 miles of any land or sea border.
Go Youtube some of the encounters at these roving checkpoints.
Taking into consideration this latest development, does anyone seriously believe that these stops will not be expanded to locations on the highway system outside of that zone in the future?; February 12, 2015 at 12:16 PM
Waiting In Idaho said...: I'm a retired airline pilot who has had enough TSA bullshit. I can fly for free, but I drive anywhere I need to go. If they start putting up road check points they may have a big problem.; February 12, 2015 at 12:44 PM

"Non-compliant" individuals are issued a 2-year "driver privilege card".

Vermont's regulations on this are here http://dmv.vermont.gov/licenses/drivers/identity

It is worth looking at the whole driver license site.; February 12, 2015 at 6:17 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
