More police state

I was required to show photo ID as well as my membership card in order to get two maps at AAA. They claim they're having an identity-theft problem (but they don't seem willing to issue photo membership cards the way Costco does).

Yeah, this looked a lot more like "service theft" than "identity theft" that they were preventing. Just like my credit card blocking my account when I buy gas in odd spots -- bad for them, not for me, if someone steals my card and buys $3.80 worth of gas!

My first reaction was "$3.80"? You can't get anywhere for that! Then I remembered your vehicle is not a car :)
