OK, perhaps third time is the charm:

When I was 16, my best friend at the time (also 16) took his 21 y.o. brother’s birth certificate without his brother’s knowledge, went to the DMV, and got his picture on a license with his brother’s stats on it.

That’s why I said you don’t rely on ID’s at all. You would have a point if I’d said to check ID. I didn’t. I said ID’s are worthless and checking them is no protection.
