You are forcing a debate where there isn't one. I am sorry this is hard for some of you (2nd person plural in English) to understand.
There are and have been great and valid debate threads about whether IDs should be checked. This was not one.
The question was brought up about whether IDs should be out of plastic/holders.
The answer is without a doubt yes, as dozens of agencis, private organisations, and governments have shown. The point was about THE very methods of succesfully carrying out the policy... not about the policy itself.
I would call what you are doing "thread creep"...
