That one says "US Department of Homeland Security" on it. It's made to look like an "official government document". Even this one is actually a "fantasy document", why would you want to piss off a cop by showing him something like that? I would also be concerned that the law against carrying false ID might include IDs that ~purport~ to be official gov't docs - which this one clearly does. Whatever point may (or may not be) made by carrying such an ID, I don't think it's worth the risks. Plus, it's just plain stupid. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
