what the fuck extra checks and scrutiny could they possibly need? They already go through an x-ray machine and get molested before we get on the plane, "real ID" or not.

There are more criteria to get through security than "not carrying prohibited items". Several of those are dependent on identity, which is why they verify identity.

  • It seems to me that all those other consideration only matter for international travel, while for domestic travel its an obvious waste of time from every angle.

    • Why would you think that? All four of the hijacked flights that led to the creation of the TSA were domestic flights.
