I love the unassuming font, it makes this all the more poignant.. like a whispered threat if that makes sense? Well seen, and composed :)

Walking in and out of buildings in Manhattan having to go through metal detectors and show photo ID is de rigeur...sad world......

Scary to think about and well portrayed in this image. But then again, how can they track every person on the planet?

they'd be bored...

Really on the fence about this idea. Is it any difference in the information that is already accessible? Interesting.

If they really want you the data is on file already. ;-)
Great composition.

They'll probably spell my name wrong - as usual!

Don't worry Ray, it's not that terrible.
I have a Belgium ID since more than 25 years
and my freedom hasn't been affected more than in England.
Freedom is more than a ID....

We have that in the States, it is called the CIA and FBI. But then again I am a liberal so I think I am on file all the time. Well done photo-journalist work.

Nobody will look like their pic if passports are anything to go by!
