What I've never understood is, that, how a gov't issue ID (for the purposes of allowing entry) is of any use whatsoever.
No matter how easy to forge, *requiring* them raises the risk/reward bar. Penalties for forging Q Random Company ID are less than those related to forging "government issue" IDs. Of course, it moves the bad guys' gamble to 'will there be a rent-a-cop that doesn't check the ID book or have they installed actual lookup facilities'?
