That was my first thought as well but they definitely ask for everyone's IDs. Last time I was in Phoenix (November of last year) I was getting fed up with this procedure and finally asked the front desk manager about she. She was apologetic and seemed embarrassed about the policy and ended up handing me a photocopied print out of the ordinance to explain the situation. I guess I wasn't the only one bothered by it.
