YUP!!! Ya never know what terrorists would do if they buy a house!
Seems the height of stupidity on the part of Homeland Security, or else they are totally clueless (which I suspect is correct).
A friend recently flew from our local International Airport, and he mentioned that after going through the "MAGIC" metal detector freestanding door, he was in the process of picking up his belongings that had been X-rayed, when one of the Homeland Security Personnel asked him for his ID. After he showed them his passport and Drivers' License, he no sooner had put them into his pocket, when another Homeland Security Person asked him for his ID, and he hadn't so much as moved his feet from the spot they were in where they had just checked him out. In all he said they had to check him out 6 times before he had moved more than 12 feet. Other people were just walking past him, including 5 suspicious looking Middle Eastern 20 to 35 year olds (he said they were speaking one of the Arabic languages that he recognized several words in). "!!!"!!! He intentionally missed his flight, expecting to hear the plane he was supposed to be on, had crashed into some building or bridge.
Then the other side of the picture, my ladyfriend flew to LA, and had forgotten her drivers license and a small bag in my car. As I was driving home, she called me because they wouldn't let her go to her flight without the drivers license (she had her passport), asking me to bring her DL and the bag. When I arrived at the Checkpoint, the Homeland Security Personnel waved me around the checkpoint, all the way to the boarding gate, with the bag! "!!!"!!!! Maybe my face is just that honest!?!
Yup,I 'spect the gummint can ask any question of you that they want for "national security" and if you don't answer them as they want they can make you a "person of interest",now don't you feel more secure?
they use it as an excuse for everything only good homeland security is in my signature. The only exception would be full and complete closure of the borders
About a year ago in Reader's Digest, a guy who was waiting in line at Airport Security was standing behind a Guardsman in fatigues carrying an M16. when the Guardsman got to the metal detector the security person took the M16 so the guardsman could walk through the metal detector. The Guardsman set off the metal detector and had to empty his pockets, security confiscated his pocket knife and returned his M16 to him.

Dont't remember the details, but apparently there'd been some sort of NRA convention or some such thing, and when people were flying out the idiot screeners confiscated any jewelry that was shaped like a gun, including earrings and money clips.
Let's not forget that we're basically talking about the same security gate people that were at the gate BEFORE all the extra security stuf came up. AND, they work at the security gate at the airport because they're too stupid to flip burgers at Micky D's - but NOW they are FEDERAL agents. Of course they have been through rigorus government training now - that we the taxpayers paid for. BUT, they still can't hack a position at McD's?!. :jaw:

Yeah I am sure the lawey wanted to waste his time running photo copies of my Driver's license.
Didn't happen the last house I bought as I recall.
As for the national ID; The government a couple of months back already been looking at a national driver's license due to all the illegals getting licenses.
The republicans will welcome it...................

They recently ran my driver's license at my credit union. I asked what would happen if I had no license? Would my work id be good enough....no one could answer. The repubs are just the lesser of the two evils. They will let me keep my gun a little longer than the dems. I can't say much else good about them anymore.

No. He (or whomever he works for) wanted a copy.
Saying that the goverment wants a copy of your drivers license for national security reasons is just BS.

Go buy a house and get back to me.........................
Ok So your the ID expert, what reasons could he need want my ID for? BTW his name was on the door meaning he works for himself or me. He even remarked that the copy was worthless as the photo copier did a crappy job.
