On Student Identification cards

I notice something strange in the film Dragon Ball Z which is identification cards with photos of the students on them.

I never had to use one when I went to school and these were never in use in high schools or shown in any Hollywood films about high schools before.

I think either someone has been altering films or trying to attract attention to the stupidity of the cards.


I notice also Olympic Passes require face photos for athletes and people going to the Olympics in 2010.

I notice the tendency also to try to get college students to carry photo I.D.
