Full Body Scans

That's what it's said all along on the question.  In the absence of a photo ID, a voter registration card was considered acceptible identification.  The question was basically saying: bring a friggin' ID to vote.  Did anyone even read the text of the questions before they voted?

It seems a bit of the question was cut out of your post.

BALLOT TITLE: This measure amends statues relating to voting requirements. It requires that each person appearing to vote present a document proving their identity. The document must meet the following requirements. It must have the name and photograph of the voter. It must have been issued by the federal, state or tribal government. It must have an expiration date that is after the date of the election. No expiration date would be required on certain identity cards issued to person 65 years of age or older.

In lieu of such a document, voters could present voter identification cards issued by the County Election Board.

A person who cannot or does not present the required identification may sign a sworn statement and cast a provisional ballot. Swearing to a false statement would be a felony.

These proof of identity requirements also apply to in-person absentee voting. If adopted by the people, the measure would become effective July 1, 2011.

SHALL THE PROPOSAL BE APPROVED?
FOR THE PROPOSAL Yes: __________
AGAINST THE PROPOSAL No: __________
DISPOSITION: Pending approval or rejection on General Election November 2, 2010

That is where a problem can present itself.  The poll workers in some areas might start to demand picture ID's for any number of reasons.  (race, party affilliation, etc.)

It's Erick Erickson's Red State. I found that story at a less rabidly right website and I probably should have linked the story from there. Did you read the account of that BS encounter?

I love it, free to fly with an M-16 and a 9mm but no nail clippers!  That's TSA at it's classic best.

We already went over all this.  The only reason why it is legal is because they allow the free voter ID cards to count.

I did.  It's crazy, I agree.

TSA Guy: (nail clippers) can be used as a weapon.

Soldier: [touches butt stock of the rifle] But this actually is a weapon. And I'm allowed to take it on.

TSA Guy: Yeah but you can't use it to take over the plane. You don't have bullets.


If I were the soldier, I would have been tempted to demonstrate how an unloaded carbine could be used as a weapon.  It would have left a lasting... impression.

If the airports switch to the private companies, I have a hard time thinking they'll be much or any better than the TSA. 

I guess they could outsource.

In strong accent, "Hi.  Welcome to security.  My name is 'Peggy'.  I will be touching you very good time."

"uh, hello...'Peggy'".

If it would help dismantle that pig of a bureaucracy, I'm all for it.

'Peggy'

As long as "Peggy" uses the phone to "reach out and touch someone", including by being in a remote site, it might be OK.
