My point exactly. I do not travel with a birth certificate or social security card - that is an invitation to identity theft. I have no marriage certificate. I have never had a credit card with my gender, address, date of birth or photo on it - that would also be an invitation to identity theft.

I do not know anyone who does not have a passport (many Americans don't) who carries a birth certificate, social security card or marriage certificate when they fly. I'm sure there are credit cards out there with photo, but I don't know how common they are. An unscientific poll of my co-workers and family - not one has a credit card with a photo, DOB, gender or address.
