|You and Chuck both seem to say nothing is necessary because it's not

|I disagree with the attitude that since perfection is unobtainable, we

No. What I am saying is that adding yet another piece of paper to
those already required will not enhance security any more than giving
illegal aliens a driver's license does.
We had a sufficient paper trail to have deported most, if not all, of
the perps from 9/11, but that did us no good. I already have a
passport.... what would a national id do that it won't?
