If have heard not one single tangible bit of evidence from anyone
that requiring a picture ID for pilot license will do anything
to justify the cost and inconvenience when it comes to enhancing
national security.

Homeland security is about making people feel safe. If this makes the
general public feel safe, then its probably worth the cost to them.
Impressions are all that count. In the real world, reality doesn't
make a difference.
