(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.
