What are you talking about, "that part of the world"? Teenagers where you're from don't have fake IDs? I know I did when I was a teenager in Philadelphia. They may not have been printed on authentic passport blanks, but they were close enough to fool people who looked at them for a living. I'm not really sure why the idea that ID's are forgeable is so surprising, though. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
