It’s even in the Congressional record! It’s the only nickname of him that the government has on file AFAIK.
I’m so sorry, I try to not do that to people. I’ll spell it out next time (it’s more fun that way anyhow).
there is “individual one”.
True!
Please spell it correctly. It is “Individual ONE”, which contains the acronym “Our National Embarrassment”.
Here’s what happened:
New Employee: “Hey, Boss, I think I just accidentally shredded twenty passports!”
Boss: “What? Show me what you did…”

US hotels often have a safe if there isn’t one in the rooms. It’s not unusual to keep passports in it.
Shredding them is, however…
No argument. I was responding to
But I think many U.S. hotels would refuse, they don’t want the liability. They don’t want to be responsible for exactly this outcome.
It’s not unusual to have fun with anyone.
But when I see you shredding stuff without a care,
It’s not unusual to see me cry.
Thanks for the earworm, Riemann.

Richardson miraculously survived the crash and briefly attempted to run on foot before he was apprehended by police.
I loved this dialogue [emphasis mine]:
“You know how your leg doesn’t get hurt?” one of the deputies asked. “You don’t run from the cops and crash your bike.”
“Do you think this is funny?” Richardson asked.
“No, I don’t think it’s funny. It’s incredibly stupid,” another deputy responded.
“We’re being chased by 12 cops in the middle of nowhere. What am I supposed to do?” Richardson asked.
“Stop and figure out why we’re chasing you,” the deputies stated.
You’d think that anyone working for a hotel would know, though. Or, failing that, you’d think that they’d at least know that anything stored in the hotel safe is probably important, or it wouldn’t be stored in the safe.
The only way I can imagine this happening is for the passports (or the envelope containing the passports) ended up in the bin for their shredding service.
You have a very good theory, most places don’t do their own shredding anymore and the shredding services don’t look into envelopes or boxes, they just toss them into the machine’s maw and move on.
Right, if a hotel employee had to stand in front of a shredder, feeding documents into it, surely they’d have noticed a series of passports? That’s why the shredding service makes more sense.
I work in hotels here in the USA, why did the hotel have the passports in the first place? We don’t need them for anything… other than identification at check in. Did the chaperone for the group hand them over to the hotel for some reason? I can’t see any front desk agents asking to hold on to them for any reason… we don’t need to register them with the local police like in some other countries.
Yes we at my hotel would refuse to take the passports…
We don’t put other people’s money or anything valuable in the safe were I am at. But we do have a Safety Deposit Box that guests can use. You sign a card that says the hotel is not liable for any damages or loss. And that if you lose the key it will cost you $300.00 to drill out the lock. Works just like the safety deposit boxes at the Bank…
