I travelled from Pittsburgh to New York with one of my PhD students
who is not a US citizen a few weeks ago. He forgot to bring any form
of government ID. At Pittsburgh when they asked for an ID he showed
his Carnegie Mellon student ID, and nobody complained at all. At
LaGuardia the TSA employee would not accept the CMU ID and sent him
back to the airline to get something stamped on his ticket. I was a
little worried because I had bought his ticket for him and had
accidently spelled his name wrong, but nobody else seemed to notice.
I don't know exactly what the airline did because I proceeded through
security. But about 5 minutes later my student was back in the
security line. They let him through security but did a full wanding
and pat down, the same as what they were doing for people they were
pulling aside for extra security checks. There was no line at LGA at
that time, so the whole incident delayed us no more than 10 minutes.
So, at least from this experience, flying in the US without
government issued ID appears to be trivial.

[Note: This comment comes from a reader of Farber's IP list. So I
guess then the question is will this sage advice still work today?
Anyone out there want to give it a try and report back? <g> DLH]

Actually, that essay is at least 5 or 6 years old and has nothing to
do with Gilmore's law suit. It predates 9/11 and completely predates
John Gilmore's law suit. I remember reading it back when I was
researching this stuff in, oh, 1999 or so.
