You have to show your ID to go to a bar. Similarly to go to a stadium, or to fly. The latter is security theatre specifically done for the protection of others.

You have to show your ID to go to a bar. Similarly to go to a stadium, or to fly. The latter is security theatre specifically done for the protection of others. The security theatre is nearly completely useless, but it's commonplace. I don't want to be around people who can make me sick. If I go to a restaurant and I'm vaccinated, and everyone else is as well, it's very unlikely I will make others sick or that they'll make me sick. If you go, you may make vaccinated or unvaccinated people sick, and they may make you sick. You're the one that's intruding on other people's freedoms here.

The security theatre is nearly completely useless, but it's commonplace. Well, first...I'm not sure why you think I support those other things? If your argument is that I'm a hypocrite, you might be disappointed to find out that I'm not. If your argument is that because we do those other things, we should do this thing...well, my goodness. That is a slippery slope, isn't it? But perhaps more importantly, there's an obvious, bright-line difference between drinking alcohol in a bar or flying on a plane, and having to show papers to do 99% of the things I do on a daily basis.
