That's true for Denmark too:
Before the Schengen treaty danes could travel to Norway and Sweden with
no need for an ID.
Now we must carry photo ID even within Denmark.
Sure, no _passport_ is required - a drivers license will do as well.
In Denmark the Schengen treaty is interpreted as the police can request
a governmental issued photo ID at *any* time. In reality it's mostly
used for "criminally looking" persons like those with dark skin. :-P
