When you are working with/around live electric, you do not have metal of any kind on you, no one can inside the rubber room.

Some of you all are very paranoid people, lol.
I dont know what you did in the navy. I worked on the flight deck during day and night ops and everyone in my shop had their tags laced in their boots and you would be an irresponsible ass if you didnt.
Recall the film on the forrestal disaster we were shown in boot camp. If you were involved in such an event how would they know if that charred body was you or if you were blown.overboard hoping they knew you were missing?
It was my experience in the military that anyone who worked in a position where they could meet a grisly death welcomed the idea of them being easily identified should that happen. You owed it to next of kin and the safety of others you worked with.
Again not sure what you did.

I can tell this issue truly bothers you. May I suggest you wear your dog tags and ID 24/7/365? Even in the shower. Might slip and hit your head when you're home alone. However would EMS know who you were then?

Anyway, you make sure you have your papers on you at all times. Later today when I go for my bike ride, I'll leave my wallet at home. Then we can both be happy. Sound good?

Back to the ID issue...this happened in Texas. My home state has no such law. Is there an ID law in your state?

As usual you are too lazy to do your own research and come on here to get what is so easily found.

Although carrying ID is usually not required, many states have ID laws that require individuals to disclose their name to officers who have reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. This can be done by telling the officer your name without having to carry ID.
In the US, under what situations are you legally required to carry ...

Then there's, Show me your Papers Law, Texas

'Show Me Your Papers' Laws and American Cultural Values

Our freedoms are a vote and a pen stroke away from disappearing; being taken away, one at a time.

Isn't that the truth? We've lost many civil liberties over the past fifteen plus years, and when you say that people look at you like Bambi caught in the headlights.

I'm just as bad, as I don't pay attention to local civics like I should. Even knowing that it doesn't take much for a state idea, law, to go from state to federal with the right person to take it there, I'm still not involved as I should be.

No knock warrants, they happen to the other guy. Not me ... why worry about the other guy's rights ... when I'm free to come and go as I please.

That is most unfortunate that that is the most common consensus among many citizens ... a lot happens, while we sleep.

Geez, I don't know what the big deal is carrying your ID with you when you are not at home. Such whiney cry babies! It may not be the law but it does make sense. Some even claim a sense of freedom not carrying it. WTH? Only if I weren't wearing any underwear would I feel such a euphoric sense of freedom, lol.

Oh, for God's sake just when we heard the lamest arguments not to have an ID on you this takes the cake! If you're at home you most likely will have a wallet nearby with your ID in it. How are you even going to call the EMS if you're knocked out from a fall? If you do call them they will ask who you are before they come and get you.

LOL!

I guess the government issues all those IDs for a reason. Who woulda thunk it.

I reckon a good many of those who oppose carrying ID for fear of Grand Moff Tarkin knowing who they are have no problem with a government that runs their lives via a vast bureaucracy armed with all kinds of arcane laws.

I was an ET in the navy. They taught us not to wear any metal when working on equipment. They showed us a movie where 110 volt AC was the biggest killer on ship.
