(They let me in eventually with a passport. But if they're going to trust a foreign-issued passport as photo id, it's not really that obvious to me why they wouldn't trust a foreign-issued driving licence. It's not like they can really tell whether either of them are forged.)
What I've never understood is, that, how a gov't issue ID (for the purposes of allowing entry) is of any use whatsoever. It's not as if someone is doing a instand background check to know if the person is a criminal, or wanted, or whatever. It's trivial to forge a gov't ID. -- Alex Rubenstein, AR97, K2AHR, alex@nac.net, latency, Al Reuben Net Access Corporation, 800-NET-ME-36, http://www.nac.net
