Bad timing (Score 0, Troll)

Before September 11th, back when I still supported the ACLU, I would have strongly supported this action. After all, airlines were relatively safe from terrorism, despite their poor security; the ID requirement was useless. But now, everything has changed. Airports need to be locked down so that fanatics cannot use our devices of mass transportation to knock down any more buildings. And to that end, preserving the I.D. requirement at airports is necessary.

Fortunately, Mr. Gilmore is inadvertently doing a huge favor for the entire nation. By publicly challenging a very important airline security policy, he is allowing the courts (hopefully not the wacky "anti-God" court in California) to set a precedent allowing airlines to protect themselves from terrorists. And that will help us all be safer in our offices and in our planes.
