John Gilmore wants to board planes without showing ID
The article indicates Mr. Gilmore will get his case heard before the Supremet Court.
It used to be that post-WWII Americans could do a send-up of Fascists by saying with a German accent "zee papers pleeez" - but now Americans accept this request and present their papers so they can travel in the land of the free. Mr. Gilmore refuses to accept this and that is why he is a great American.
