So it looks like we are all going to get fingerprinted, iris
scanned, and who know what else. Is this news to anybody? How
much opposition is there to the new ID requrements? What do you
folks think and feel?

I'm creeped out. I think our country is being taken over by a
bunch of paranoid freaks.

The country is being taken over by a bunch of opportunistic power-hungry
tyrants. They simply rely on the paranoid in order to achieve their goals.

As far as the potential for pilots being fingerprinted, I think it's as dumb
as all the other useless and wasteful so-called "security measures" we've
had to endure since 9/11.

I am literally nauseated that my "fellow" Americans have been so willing to
allow our own government to do the terrorists' dirty work for them. I try
not to think about it as much as possible, because it makes getting anything
else done so difficult.
