Back when I had a green card, it usually was sufficient. However, that was way before September 2001 ... Perhaps some things have already changed in that area. I personally do not see what is the big outcry about passports. You intend to vote, you register to vote. You intend to drive a vehicle, you get a driver's licence. You intend to travel to another country, you get a passport. Acquiring the appropriate documents to do certain things has been a fact of life, worldwide, for a very long time now -- and passports in particular are nothing new. Looks like they're planning to access some frequent-traveller alternate IDs at the land borders in lieu of passports, anyway. (OnT content: You can take the passport picture with a Pentax. I've done 'em for all my immediate family and a friend or two.) ERNR
