TSA’s latest pronunciamento on showing ID at the airport has logical gaps that are beyond reason.
According to the TSA, if you refuse to show ID, you’ll be refused entry to the boarding area, but if you say that your ID card was lost, you’ll be allowed.
Apparently, they are operating on the theory that “terrorists don’t lie”.
This is like the old joke:
“I got my car for $50 from a guy on the street!”
“Really? That price is way too low — it must have been stolen.”
“Nah, I asked the seller if it was stolen, he said no.”
This is so bizarre my mind is reeling.
