That license plate story is crazy! I'm sure this will continue to happen anywhere the risk of having a real identity is greater than the cost of stealing a temporary one. Isn't it significant that we still only know most of the 9/11 terrorists by their stolen identities? [Ed: there's no evidence for this.] If fighting identity theft at home means fighting the illegal immigration trend, Ron Paul's take on this as a problem with an economic solution may be of interest.

While I can see how entering the US would easily deter all but the most patient of travelers, the lagging dollar has increased economic incentives to visit. I have no idea how to identify this model, but it would be an interesting way of modeling the actual trade-offs people make about the privacy incursions and inconveniences.

First, I agree that while some people make the argument you think I’m making, that wasn’t my intent. I’ll clarify.
Second, fixed the CSS bug. thanks for complaining. :)

(Argh, your stylesheet for this blog is turning off underlining for links in comments: the word “not” above should be denoted as a link.)

Terrorists are going to enter the country illegally, using paths worn smooth by millions of illegal immigrants. ...or, uh not. "The terrorists", presuming that they are even fractionally competent, will be coming in via the front door, with their papers well in order. We know for a fact that they have the money, the patience, the resources and the operational discipline to do this. Anyone who brings up illegal (read: Mexican) immigration in this discussion is trying to sell you something that you probably don't actually have any interest in buying.
