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.

There hasn't been a single case of terroristic use of a GA airplane
that I am aware of. The whole case in question revolves around 9-11
with commercial airliners and did not even involve the pilots. It
was a failure of a governmental agency to determine whereabouts and
activities of foreign nationals (i.e. non-US citizens).


Okay, you recognize that picture IDs will do nothing to enhance security,
but you are unable to see the impossibility of tracking foreign nationals or
any other class of people in this country.

I know! We should pass a law requiring all foreign nationals to wear tinfoil
hats with red streamers at least three feet long. That will fix the problem.
