ID Fight

Wired reports of John Gilmore's fight to be allowed to move freely in his own country without having to show identification papers. Apparently this is a continuation of a previous fight, where Gilmore challenged the US government and the airlines to be allowed to travel by air, anonymously. The government asserts that requiring identification is part of their efforts to combat air piracy. When you think about it though, ever criminal that has ever boarded a plane and committed an act of air piracy, was carrying identification.
