"STRANGE"

Don't you think it's strange that we have to show so many forms of ID to prove who we are in situations such as banking, passport applications, house purchasing, etc? Yet I could walk into any one of these institutions wearing a burqa and no-one would be able to question whether my ID matched my facial features! Where is the security in that?
I am not being racist...I am being realistic! Anyone could be under those layers of dark-coloured material!
John and I recently had to prove that we were John and Ann-Maree Van Berlo in order to officially change our names to John and Ann-Maree Van Berlo. This had to be done for security reasons in order that we are legally allowed to apply for Australian passports. It was quite ridiculous and strange and quite expensive, but was the result of John's birth certificate being in the name of Johnny Berlo. His parents had dropped the Van for a short period of time after their arrival in Australia. John was unaware of this and had always been known as John Van Berlo. That is security at its best!!
It's a strange world sometimes!
