All from the feds. Passport, passport card, trusted traveler card.

Agreed, and it's hard to tell which is the more ecologically
sound. Of course, the woven ones are best. The Aussies have
these plastic mesh bags they call billums that scrunch into
next to nothing but expand to hold quite a lot. You can make
them out of melted-down Coke bottles, I'm told, and they are
handy and work well. I wonder why we don't see them here.

True, but even holey ones can be used for stuff, such as
wastebasket liners.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.04

      Title: Cumquat Liqueur Chocolates
 Categories: Candies, Chocolates, Porn
      Yield: 20 Servings

      1 kg Cumquats
      1 kg Sugar
      1 l  Brandy
    500 g  Dark chocolate

  Take good, ripe, cumquats, with stems removed, and pierce all over
  with a fork.   Place in a sealable jar, with the sugar and brandy.
   If necessary, divide between several jars, making sure they are
  almost filled. Leave for a minimum of 6 months, or up to a year,
  turning occasionally to make sure contents is thoroughly mixed. At
  the end of that time, or when the need arises, drain the liquid from
  the cumquats. (This liqueur may be drunk if desired.) Dry the
  cumquats and keep at room temperature while heating the chocolate in
  a double boiler. When it is molten, drop the cumquats in, one at a
  time, allowing the chocolate to form a solid coating.
   Remove with a fork and allow to cool on greaseproof paper.   Store
  in a cool place, and feed to unsuspecting guests. Warning! Limit
  guests to no more than three if you want them to stay upright.
