i agree with call100, but what can we do about it? i would guess that the airport would renove an airside pass from anyone who didn't accept a national ID card, so he would be left jobless, and it's only a matter of time before we all have to have one. it's a police-state load of rubbish.
the logical failing is, if a passport suddenly isn't good enough, how do we prove who we are in order to get the national ID??
