[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

"In a free country you do not need government permission to travel."

The airlines are a private business. They can establish whatever rules they want to. If the FAA requires them to abide by certain rules (like each state requires a license and reg. and insurance to drive) and you don't like the rules, find another means of traveling.

Taxis don't require ID. Call a cab, dude.

I thought the FreeState project was a good idea at first, shake things up. Now I've got to wonder who's involved with it.

The "private business" thing is a thin figleaf.

For starters, I'd like my FIFTEEN BILLION back from those tax-eating scum.

Second, anything the government does that is not explicitly authorized by the Constitution is illegal and illegitimate. As a Republican, you know that, right? Or, perhaps, you are of a political persuation that does not believe that.
