The post's entire point is that IDs are de facto travel papers. The reasons why we object to photo ID at vote time should also apply to general intra-US travel (or at least intrastate travel).
- rhino369 11y agoAnd my point is that travel papers aren't just something you need to travel with. It's a permission for specific travel. You can argue that requiring an ID for traveling on a plane is too restrictive, but it's not travel papers.
- albedoa 11y agoNot trying to argue here, just trying to understand you. At the point where ID is required, it becomes de facto permission for that specific travel, no? Without ID, that travel is denied. (Or at least, that's the author's point.)
- marcosdumay 11y agoIt becomes permission for travel in general, not specific. Also, it only becomes any kind of restriction if there is any restriction on the issuing of ID (either practical, economical or legal). As always, the details are more important than the big picture.
