No, but I consider a terrorist's loss of due process an obligation.

It's easy when you know the guy's a terrorist. The real issue when judging
laws and/or policies is whether or not it protects an _innocent_ person.

And there is plenty of justification for people to be 'paranoid' when it
comes to mandated identity cards and such. They were (are?) after all, one
of the overt differences between free and repressive societies.
