@PATAX  That form of argument is called "reductio ad absurdum."  We are not talking about registering real people.  We are talking about registering the real people who are behind fictitious names.  

I was opposed to FBI and police overreach back when it was dangerous to do that. I would prefer the world to be as libertarian as possible.  But if the overwhelming majority of Congress believes BOI is essential, especially when our foreign policy is to cooperate with other democracies that are fighting terrorism and drug-money laundering in the same way, I will not complain until someone comes up with a better idea.  

Can you name one candidate who has made BOI an issue this election cycle?  As far as I know, not even the guy who says Haitian immigrants come from Haitia has complained.
