Not to mention there's a law that you must show a passport. There's not law about showing ID at a small airport if you're just hanging around. Yes, the current regime is a problem, but so are people making up authority that they just don't have. |

Hi Kyle!
In this case, I agree it's possible it may not have been necessary, as the kid with the camera was clearly talking to you and was acting with your permission, but this discussion has developed past your original incident. Now we have posters going on about having the right to refuse to produce ID and explain why they are in a certain place if they are citizens, and not foreigners and aren't doing anything suspicious etc. Going to another country is not suspicious, however, each and every person is required to produce a passport, and explain their reasons for entering that country. I don't see them being so high and mighty and enforcing their 'rights' in that circumstance. As I said, the incident you posted about may have had an un-necessary outcome, but what actual damage did it do? If it scared the young lad away from learning to fly, then I'd suggest he is pretty thin skinned, and not at all dedicated to his implied interest in aviation. Crash Lander -- I'm not always right, But I'm never wrong! "Kyle Boatright" wrote in message . .. "Crash Lander" wrote in message ... Hi Dudley! This is fun innit! :-) The funny thing is that you guys and girls that are complaining about unnecessary security measures actually actively engage in them every day! For example. You lock your doors and windows at night. Now, chances are, you'll never get broken into and robbed, but you lock up anyway! Why? If someone wants to get in, do you really think a little window lock or a deadbolt on a door will stop them? The difference is that I choose to lock my doors (or not). Nobody makes me follow their idea of security measures. I suppose you refuse to show your passport when you go overseas, because it's none of their buisness who you are or what you're planning on doing in that other country? Of course you don't! How about a little consistency in your arguments people! Crash Lander Apples and oranges. Passports are flagged, etc and there are real time systems to address people with the wrong name or number on their passport. At my local airport, they want to take down your name if you're taking pictures. Let's say you produce an ID for the 18 year old who runs the fuel pump. Is it fake? He can't tell. Is he gonna run the name through the FBI database? Naah. Most likely, he's not even going to write it down, and even if he does, the list of names will go in the dead letter file. The whole thing is/was pointless and has no impact other than to hassle some kid with a camera. KB |

But, you, in effect, claimed that the TSA would be an appropriate authority on what constitutes a security problem. I was pointing out the problem with that position. -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate |

Dudley,
write a simple email to TSA where it does matter, and ask THEM if the taking of photographs at major airports is, or is not, one of the issues their security people are specifically trained to consider in the airport security equation What's that got to do with the question whether it's a security issue or not? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
