I had a little reality check of my own in recent history. I work in a Federal building in downtown DC. In fact, it is headquarters to a rather well know intelligence agency. Well, we were told that the whole building had to go in to have our photos taken for ID.
Well, I was puzzled, as my ID is all of about 6 months old, so it's not like the picture is outdated, and so I asked. I was told that the photos were not for a new ID tag, they were to ID our remains if it should prove necessary.
