Not really related to the deadbeat dads thing, but we
got a notice that the US DOT has mandated that all air passengers
must present a gov't issue photo ID with a name that matches that
on your ticket. In addition it says that passengers should:
* be prepared to answer questions about their bags.
* be prepared to open the trunk of their car.
Goodbye freedom, hello police state.
