True you will not be asked to show your ID. The only time you are asked to show your ID is for a Residency check, or upon entering the country. If you don’t show your ID then, other things happen.

My point is day to day activities. Try going one entire week without showing your ID in the USA. Try it. you cannot.

You can interpret the amendments differently than I do. Fine. I am happy that you believe that the USA is a wonderful and free country. Enjoy your freedom. Oh yes, you DID pay your income tax didn’t you?..?

Strange comment. On the surface, you can go a week. And certainly you can go much longer than a week without showing it to a gov't authority. But there is a bigger question: showing an ID is a straw test for "freedom" or "liberty" in general.

Thank you for taking the time to think about these issues and to post your views. You make many valid points. Folks on this site may want to give some thought to your views before dismissing them so cavalierly.

The last time I needed to show my ID was in 2011 - to get a new driver's license.
