If I was a terrorist on US soil, I'm gonna be bussing.
Intracity buses have cameras. Intercity buses require ID.
Why? Do interstates also have border check points?
Bus companies require them, afaik.
No they don’t. I’ve often put my kids on intercity (really interstate) buses to go visit their grandparents. I’ve never had to show ID and they don’t have ID.
Did you show it when you bought the tickets? Which bus line?
I remember news stories about it, and thinking that people could no longer travel anonymously.
These are private bus lines like Flixbus.
Are there public interstate bus lines?
Public? No. Though, the one most people think of is Greyhound and maybe they do check ID. I was just emphasizing that I was not using Greyhound.
They require ID here in Europe. They don't always check for it, but probably they want to avoid delays in case the bus is checked at a border.
Real criminals ride bicycles.
And don't carry ids or phones.
That only covers the driver, not everyone in the vehicle.
doesn't matter, they'll be friends on facebook, or have otherwise interacted with each other online
