if they ask me to take my i/d out of my wallet, i will very politely refuse and then hand them my passport (which f course will mean me putting my wallet back inside my jacket, putting my briefcase down, taking out my travel wallet out of the zippered briefcase compartment, taking the passport out of it's little holding place inside the travel wallet and showing it to the i/d checker [n.b. showing vs the i/d checker holding it]). sorry if you're in line behind me but the only person who gets to see my i/d out of my wallet is a leo or a bank teller.
