I've been in and out of several colos that require you to leave your ID (passport/DL, and business card) up at the front desk throughout your visit. This could be for hours, or even for the whole day. During that time I imagine my ID could have been photocopied, transcribed, photographed, etc, without me ever knowing. -Jim P.
Several states make it illegal to possess another person's driver's license. Many make it illegal to lend your driver's license to someone else or to trade it for something. As for passports, violating 18 USC 1544 for profit is a terrorism offense. Even the guys who rent paddleboats at the lake have learned that it is usually illegal to possess another person's identification. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've been to some of the most secure facilities in the world, and I've never been asked to allow someone else to retain my passport or driver's license. Possession includes receipt, according to the DOJ. 18 USC 1028 makes it a Federal crime to transfer someone else's identification with intent to violate a state felony statute. This is a minefield. Have companies really run this past their legal departments? DS
