This does not rise above some American 7th grade debate tactic. It is seperate whether you like it or not. Otherwise why does NATO, The US Military, Law enforcment, bar doormen, supermarkets, banks, US federal and other national government buildings, the UN, and airlines themselves, require the IDs to be taken out of plastic/containers? So why exactly should one's laziness, or sense of being contrary play into logic to carry out a proper ID check?

Simple question really...
