After May, S.C. residents may need passport to board commercial planes

South Carolinians may not be able to use driver's licenses as identification to board commercial planes in May under new rules announced today by the Department of Homeland Security. via The Greenville News

[WTF]

You have to be kidding me. South Carolina is the most backward ass state EVER. You would think it is a country in and of its self. Apparently the only state in the nation that requires U.S. citizens to have a passport to leave the state. Im frankly offended at even the idea of it! Fuck the south east.

[TooOld]

I've watch this coming for a long time now.

Do you remember the movies about Germany during the War and they would always be asking, "Papers Please" or "Identity Cards Please".

A National ID was proposed in America some time ago and as soon as I heard that it scared me.

"Department of Homeland Security", better known as "Papers Please" is going to take over.

Conspiracy Theory people have seen this as the future.

9/11 is the reason and "The Department of Homeland Security" is the result.

True, there are bad people out there that don't like us, but how much protection will we end up with before it's finished.

Maybe SC is just a test case, but I would think that California would accept it better because of their Socialist [Progressive][liberal] thinking.

The next thing you know we will have to raise one are to show we are loyal. Hitler-Zig Hile.

It is very scary to think about but, people seem to go for anything new now a days as long as you say it is for "HOME LAND SECURITY" OR "FOR THE CHILDREN".

I'm old and Paranoid I know, but what ever happened to MY America.

"Freedom is Slavery"/War is Peace", George Orwell said in his book 1984.

COULD HE HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE OF AMERICA?

I believe in Apple Pie, The American Flag and the Golden Rule.

Now they are going to require Identity for Intenet forums and the like.
Real, actual Names
Real actual address
Real actual Telephone Numbers

and dare I say, Your social security Number to PROTECT YOU from HARM.

I say to HILE with their new crap.
