If you believe them, they are all focusing on survival. On airline safety, I was disgusted by the we know best attitude of the bureaucrats who imperiously told the (United?) pilots - you can't be trusted with stun guns. Typical. Don't tell me getting the Feds more deeply involved is tha answer to airline safety. Others were more focused on the bottom line.

I.D.'ing everybody in the country does not provide me any warm fuzzies at all. I.D.'ing people who shouldn't be here so they can have their status changed, and keeping better track of foreign visitors, does. Why is it difficult for some people to understand that future terrorists aren't going to be jailbreaks on Interpol's ten most wanted list? Mohammed Atta was a well-educated architectural engineer with an advanced degree he and would have been very employable here or elsewhere. Didn't OBL's top lieutenant, Al-Zawaharri (sp), the mad Egyptian surgeon, come to the US a couple years ago, legally, to raise funds in California for Al-Qaeda ? Would, or should a national i.d. system have prevented that? There are a lot of things that need to be done, but none of them require a national i.d. card in order to solve the problems.
