Given the current requirement for photo ID (which virtually all US
pilots possess) in addition to an airmans certificate to access the
ramp, it would be redundant (and hence needlessly costly).


Sounds too logical. In anycase, I guess I'm thinking more along the
lines of a fishing license. Something that is required to be visible
from 20 feet at all times. I could see airport managers asking pilots
to wear such an ID around our necks. The same is required of most
airport employees at larger airports.

In Mexico you are often asked for your pilot's license everytime you
approach your aircraft, and always when you land or buy gas (avgas is
restricted and a pilot's certificate is a permit to purchase it in
Mexico).
