Yeah, that's probably the biggest part of the joke. On a visit RAAF Williamtown a few years back, I discovered their security folks did not recognise an ASIC as valid ID: "Can I see your driver's license sir??" It's the Newcastle tarmac, FFS!

Hey, after I've gone to all this trouble begging and pleading to get one, I'd like to think that if Airport Security found some pleb wandering around airside without a valid ASIC, they'd have some explaining to do (and maybe that fine they speak of on the airside fence). Bah humbug!
