What about this?

You hand an inspector your papers during a ramp check....

He stupidly takes or keeps something he has no legal right to....that you cant
replace on the spot...

You are stuck in Middle of Nowhere, Crappy State USA....you and the plane NEED
to get somewhere NOW....

You continue on your flight path to your destination....

Now youve shown up somewhere else WITHOUT a critical piece of paper....

WHO gets in trouble for not having the correct papers at the second ramp check?

I no nutin about piloting....and an inspector would have to be real jerk before
I'd be anything but polite, helpful, and respectable....

but I'm not sure I'd physically let go of any critical piece of paperwork I
needed either...

As they say...."possesion is 9/10ths of the law"

take care
