Gee!! Maybe they want to make sure that your 8-year old daughter isn't planning to hi-jack the plane!! Yeah, that MUST be it!

Maybe they're just trying to go ahead and get the little ones accustomed to having to provide ID so they won't have a problem with it later in life. (Just a thought.)

They want to make people "feel safe". Screw feeling safe, I want to be safe, and carding 8 year olds is distracting resources from that, as would a national ID. "Zero tolerance" in a high school or anywhere else is both tyrannical and pointless. But as long as the vapid soccer mom types out there feel safe, I guess none of that really matters.
