Whoa! You all seem to be missing something here. The national I.D will not replace the current airport I.D's and will not be required by the security systems at varying airports to grant access..
The main objection should be that you will be forced to accept this useless Government experiment or lose your job. You will be discriminated against and told that you do not have the same rights as the rest of the country.
No other section of the populace will be under such compulsion. No one else will be threatend with dismissal. b
Also remember this is a problem for
all Aviation workers.
