How would you advise your line employees (who aren't exactly leaving in droves to work in spacecraft development for NASA's manned mission to Mars) to check crew IDs? (How many of us would apply to work at TSA if on furlough? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?)

I'll bet you'd say to "question" anything that looks unusual.

Somebody said earlier that "we are not the enemy." That's true. But the enemy may very well be dressed like us and pretending to be us.
