I'd rather have this than some underpaid, high school graduate who'd rather frisk all the pretty ladies that come by or racially profile others. No, that is not at all what is said in the article. But, even so, it is a big deal that the government wants to track people simply for wishing to travel! People already identify themselves, when they fly on planes. The article doesn't say that identification is illegal but that requiring automated tracking, based upon identification, is illegal. "The TSA signs (visible in full on this TSA video released in conjunction with today’s press release) include — typically for the TSA and DHS — no OMB Control Number or Paperwork Reduction Act notice, both of which are required for any collection of information by a Federal agency, regardless of whether the collection of information is optional or mandatory, and regardless of whether the information collected is retained." When people capitulate to demands that have no legal basis, because they don't understand their rights or care to protect them, soon they won't have any rights.
