Quite frankly, incorrectly evoking 9/11 for such a petty reason is just insulting to those that tragically died that day.
It's not incorrectly evoking it, at least one of those hijakers was here on a significantly expired student visa, if I remember correctly.

Beyond that, you have to AT LEAST have some form of photo ID to board plane and that's true ANY WHERE within the US. Boarding a plane doesn't require you to be a citizen, nor does it necessarily require legal contact with a state law enforcement entity (even in AZ), so I think your example is poor.

Now, break a law in AZ, get caught by the police, THEN they can ask you whether or not you're here legally... I don't understand what's so wrong about that.
