Secret ID Law to Get Hearing

The USA has no mandatory ID cards, doesn't need them because the voluntary means of ID seem to have become de facto requirements for participation in ordinary life. A fine example of function creep, backed by secrec government rules. Enter a refusenik:

Neither will he show his driver's license at airports, or submit to routine security searches. This refusal to obey the rules led him to file suit against the Bush administration (Gilmore v. Gonzales) after being rebuffed at two different airports on July 4, 2002, when he tried to fly without showing identification.

I do hope he wins because it will help make the case against ID cards globally with all the civil liberties infringements they would bring in their wake.
