Bob S.: I don't know if you meant it as humor, but you provided me a much needed laugh when you posed the question at the end of your post.

I don't understand why so many of you (in the U. S.)are so exercised about carrying an identification card. Most of us carry driver's license, social security card or voter registration card anyway. What'cha going to do if a cop ask you to show one of them? Tell them no?
