Been to Europe lately?

What percentage of US citizens even have passports?

All of them. If you do not have internal papers you will be detained
at an airport.

I've been through airports quite a few times, most of them since 9/11.
They only ask for a passport if you're entering or leaving the country.
For all other flights you just need a drivers license or other form of
photo ID.

Hey stooopid - those are your internal passports. One supposes you've
never traveled in the USSR. No matter, the USSR will come to you.
Wait! It already has, right down to the photo ID and being surrounded
by armed guards when presenting it.

There was a time in the United States when if you wanted to travel,
you paid your $ and went. God help anyone who sought to trample on
your Constitutional right to go anywhere at any time without
interference unless mandated by court order. That included asking for
"identification." "1984" was right:

"The monthly chocolate ration has been increased to 24 grams from 26
grams last month. We are winning the War of Production!"

Sound familiar?
