The "Flying Without ID" Chronicles

Today I attempted to board an airplane without presenting ID. This is your right, according to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, but few airport workers know it, and even fewer flyers know it. No civilian has actually been able to look at this law. It's a secret law. You are governed by a law you are not allowed to see. These things actually exist in the United States!

I want to fly with someone.

I'm having flying dreams again.

I'm never in the sky or among clouds. Usually I'm inside buildings with high ceilings, often at the church where I grew up (which it seems is a mandatory dream location).

In every one of these dreams I'm hanging out with a group of people, but I get bored of just standing there, so I hop up and start flying around. I'm still involved in the conversation, just flying around above everyone.

But no one ever joins me. No one is even interested in joining me. They're satisfied with staying on the ground.
