    Of course, this type of security is easy to evade, and the 9/11 plot was structured to evade it. Checking ID cannot catch someone who has no history of wrongdoing.
    That is called a democracy. In a democratic legal systems, an innocent person cannot be convicted or persecuted for crimes that he has not done. In the USA, criminal convictions is public information. Anyone can look it up. Private background search companies accumulate so much information that it is a little frightening. For example, current phone number, address, address history for 30 years, age, birth dates, household members, relatives, associates, property ownership, lawsuits, marriage, divorce, criminal records check, sex offenders, terrorist watch, bankruptcy, tax liens. No need to worry about Big Brother Government, all you neighbors already know all about you.
