This is just disgusting, and upsetting. When I lived in Iowa for a few years, I watched them print my new Iowa drivers license out on a machine that I'm pretty sure was the same one used by my college to issue college IDs, and then just hand it to me. Meanwhile, New York always required a separate department to print the IDs that look very difficult to forge, with all sorts of security features on it, and then mail it to you after a few days. How is Iowa's legal and my New York one not?
So now, the government says that not only do I have to allow myself to either be seen naked by a complete stranger or legally molested to prove my innocent intentions when getting on a domestic flight, now I need a passport as well.
Or, maybe they can use their security money wisely and simply train TSA agents in how to properly read drivers licenses. Or, maybe we can save a ton of money each year and abolish the TSA and hire actual trained people to run security who can do their jobs without humiliating normal Americans.
