Do you carry your passport with you everywhere you go? [/quote]
Yes. My wallet – if that’s what you would call it – consists of just four items: (1) US Passport Card, (2) drivers license, (3) ATM card, and (4) a credit card. It might be the thinnest wallet on record. If folks are required to carry a license to drive – and aren’t particularly put out by so doing – how difficult is it to carry a passport card? Just sayin’…[/quote]
Good for you.
My passport book does not fit in a wallet. But it does allow me to travel international by plane. Passport cards are limited to specific countries and specific modes of travel.
I’m too cheap to have both.
I’m sure you’re aware that US citizens are not required to have passports. Only one in three US citizens has a valid passport.
Too cheap to have both? Please. A passport card costs $55 ($40 if you already have a passport book) and is valid for 10 years. You spend more than that even on those odd occasions that you go out to eat.
Yes, I’m aware that US citizens are not required to have passports. Perhaps they should be required to have them if they are going to benefit from the protections our country provides them. Again, obtaining and carrying a drivers license does not appear to have greatly burdened the affected Citizenry… is a passport card really such a big imposition? I certainly didn’t view it as such.
It’s more expensive and time consuming to get your cable service hooked up. I’m not seeing the big deal.
