The Eggman (hypothetically?)
Irritates the System Once Again

* First, I checked with my attorney, a Secret Service Agent in the counterfieting division and the State Department. This broke no law. It was not presented as primary identification and no fraud or intent to commit fraud was involved - in fact, I made it all up. - SEE THE DISCLAIMER

(Though the fellow at the State Department didn't seem real happy about what I was doing.) (Not that I actually Spoke With Anyone At the Dept. of State or Anywhere Else, of Course)
If You Can't Be Free, At Least Be Irritating - SEE THE DISCLAIMER

 
The Background

The April 2002 Issue of Americas 1st Freedom (NRA) featured a cover story about, and illustration of a "U.S. Citizenship Card"

The Fun Part

Scan the cover at 4800ppi on a laser scanner, add the head and shoulders photo. Clean up the name and add a signature. Plot it to 3" wide on a color plotter at 600ppi

The next step is to spray glue the plot to the front of an old hotel key with a Mag Stripe. Pasted on a paper 'Signature Zone" and use ruboff letters to add the wording.

I wasn't happy with the (hypothetical) results at the (hypothetical) train station. The back needed to look a bit more 'Official.'
(Hypothetically speaking)

In the next step, trim and heat laminate the 'sandwich' in a heavy luggage tag laminating pouch and trim to fit.

Then it is off to have some (hypothetical) fun with a new 'National ID.'*

Hypothetical Notes

Convenience
Store

Library

Rail Station Ticket Purchase on CC NO Asked for additional ID - Questioned the home-made one. When I hypothetically explained what I was hypothetically doing he told me that Rail Agents are trained to spot such 'obviously fraudulent' things and warned me not to hypothetically try this at the airport.
( For once in his life, the Eggman will listen to what he was hypothetically told! )
After Hypothetical Enhancements to Version 2a Reverse

Hunting License PENDING PENDING development of a hypothetical theory.

As soon as I hear from the legal eagles (or find a hypothetical Fed to go along with the hypothetical "Test" so I don't go to hypothetical jail) I'll see what I can do at a Federal building. I also have a hypothetical call in to a hypotheticalPostal Inspector to see if they will let me 'try' picking up a hypotheticalgeneral delivery package with only this as an ID.
