The audacity of people taking photos of IDs nowadays is crazy. I had booked airport transportation online with a reputable company I've used for years when flying to Cancun. When I got in the van, the driver asked to see my ID, I thought OK that is reasonable he wants to make sure he got the correct passenger. Before I realized it, he had taken a picture and was sending it via whatsapp to his company whatsapp thread.
Now this driver has my home address, license number, photo, stored on his phone/google drive/whatsapp (plus everyone else in that dispatch thread)...
Sad state of affairs.
Some countries have passport cards, same size as traditional ID but don't have address information on the card. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_passport_card
I have started to also just tell people I left my ID in my other pants. It is interesting that many people accept incompetence as an excuse but not a principal stand.
