I think its a bit more than an illusion. Children in some Middle and
High Schools are being required to display school issued ID's.. It helps
to sort out who belongs and who doesnt.
And that's a good thing? Well, don't worry, we'll probably soon have the
same thing here in the U.S.... (some schools already have it I'm sure)
to "enhance" security.
Every little bit helps.
I know, I know.... "if it saves one life..." etc. etc.
I have
an ID for work,
I don't
an ID for the airport (city owned, joint use airport), a
Not at my airport
photo on my DL,
this is fairly universal as DL serve as Identification nationwide.
a photo on my concealed handgun license..
I have a CCW too but in my state there is only a thumb print required....
always been that way and we've never had any problems with terrorists
using CCW licenses. But.. SURE... why not change that too. I bet the
cost to renew my CCW will then cost as much as it does in your state.
but my pilot
certificate, run by the US Govt doesn't have a photo on it? Heck, even
the dependent's military ID just to be able to shop at AAFES (the
military version of SuperWalmart) has a picture.
Okay, then lets do a picture for pilots too .... and ooops you forgot,
you'll need one for your ATM card, your credit card(s) and how about
the AOPA memberships cards too? WHat about your medical insurance cards,
and don't forget library cards. If its good for all that stuff its gonna
be good for everything. WHo cares what it costs or if it really does
any good.
