Is the ID demand an overreaction to 9/11?
No. It’s an overreaction to the Unabomber, to TWA 800, to the Pan Am flight that blew up over Lockerbie, to 9/11, and to many other events. The government’s desire that every citizen identify themself is not new. What is new is the sheeplike way that citizens are letting themselves be led to the slaughter. We need not go back to World War II Germany to find governments that track their citizens’ movements and ultimately imprison or kill those who they disagree with. South Africa and China provide more recent examples.
