It would be nice with how things operate, if all of us were as photogenic as children can be and models are made to appear. Think about it, you get a drivers license, and then you are awarded an ID with your picture. You want to attend school, you get another mugshot. To make it even better, if you want to travel, you have to get a photo for the passports page. At least the passports design has a little mercy, it has a cover that conceals the photo most of the time. To add to this pleasantness, if you apply for another form of government ID, what photo do they say you can use? Your passports image!
Passports serve a great purpose in allowing us to travel. However, if you are one of those people who uses their passports image on a regular basis, you're stuck showing the picture to any kind of authority figure who asks. Picture it, even if your cab driver gets pulled over in Europe, most likely you are going to have to show your passports information as well. Going on a trip to multiple countries, be prepared to show that passports image every time you cross a boundary. That is one benefit to the United States, once there, at least you can travel to Chicago without pulling out that passports image again.
