Dave,

With all the ID talk as of late, it is interesting to see what the TSA
announced on the 5th of June.

TSA Announces Enhancements to Airport ID Requirements to Increase Safety

News & Happenings

June 5, 2008

Beginning Saturday, June 21, 2008 passengers that willfully refuse to
provide identification at security checkpoint will be denied access to
the secure area of airports. This change will apply exclusively to
individuals that simply refuse to provide any identification or assist
transportation security officers in ascertaining their identity.

This new procedure will not affect passengers that may have misplaced,
lost or otherwise do not have ID but are cooperative with officers.
Cooperative passengers without ID may be subjected to additional
screening protocols, including enhanced physical screening, enhanced
carry-on and/or checked baggage screening, interviews with behavior
detection or law enforcement officers and other measures.

Under the law that created TSA, the Aviation and Transportation
Security Act, the TSA administrator is responsible for overseeing
aviation security (P.L. 107-71) and has the authority to establish
security procedures at airports (49 C.F.R. § 1540.107). Passengers
that fail to comply with security procedures may be prohibited from
entering the secure area of airports to catch their flight (49 C.F.R.
§ 1540.105(a)(2).

This initiative is the latest in a series designed to facilitate
travel for legitimate passengers while enhancing the agency's
risk-based focus - on people, not things. Positively identifying
passengers is an important tool in our multi-layered approach to
security and one that we have significantly bolstered during the past
18 months.
