>TSA's new rules only protect us from a non-existent breed of terrorists who are unable to lie.
The rules, as described by the article, instead protect the "secure" area of the airport from those who wish to assert their right to fly without presenting ID.
A little off topic, but I like to also have my passport in a hidden pocket in my travel jacket just in case my wallet with drivers license is stolen while travelling.
We just flew across the country to see family.
Had to put up with 2 TSA groping sessions.
Also, one more little rant: I hate it that TSA tries to pass itself off as a part of government or as a proper police agency. No, they are a for profit corporation. I add the suffix "corporation" whenever I use "TSA" in conversation to hammer in that point.
