    Must be where you are. I guess round these parts they just use a bit of common sense. Of course I don't actually look 21, maybe 31 but no they don't ID me. If I am going into a night club they usually have someone at the door checking ID's but they would do that if I looked like father time and crept up there using a walker. I'd say maybe 1 out of every 30 times buying liquor/beer I'll get asked to see an ID.

    Are you daft? THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. Cashiers get bribed. Others are lazy. Others can't add up the dates properly. Some don't care. You just shot your argument in the foot.

    The person working the front is the least responsible, the least invested, the lowest paid, the most bored, and with the worst attitude.

    And they catch people screwing up all the time and fire them.

    WAKE UP! None of this is evidence of a government conspiracy.

    Sounds like a good screenplay. Get to work on it. You have a good imagination.

    It may have been a bad example but just to test it out I'm taking my 45 year old brother down to the ABC today and see if he can get something w/o an ID.

    The point was regarding a liquor store, not a gas station, grocery store, etc. I'll check at that ABC to make sure but I'm pretty sure you can't buy anything in a liquor store w/o showing ID.

    Let you know what happens....

    It's very easy to get away with it in Louisiana, harder in Texas.

    Dude, the point is that you are using flawed logic.

    If your brother gets served without an ID, it does not mean that a government conspiracy is at work.

    Good Lord, man.....I am aware of that. I was trying to come up with an example of a place that required ID and the way it would be handled if the person in question had none.

    But now, all this talk has got me curious.....I just want to see what they do.

    again, the plane guy had ID. stop saying he didnt. he had a passport.

    this is a prime truther tactic. pretend like somethng doesnt make sense, based on a premise that is a lie, then ignore the reality, even as it is pointed out multiple times.

    again, the guy had a passport. thats how he got on the plane.
