........A VERY professional looking card, one that he made on his computer.......
A million years ago, before 9/11, when crew I.D. cards were first invented, one of my crew reproduced his, with a picture of his dog instead of his own. Took a long time before a slightly less dim security guard than all the rest noticed, and that was when he was flying longhaul with BOAC around the worlds' airports.

I made my own many years ago, having retired and occasionally needing 'photo ID' for various reasons not associated with airports, works all the time - didn't even have a computer then, photo-copiers are fun, too !

"Security" is only to hassle the innocent, the real bad guys know how to circumvent it anyway - like I need a passing 5 year old to light my 'childproof' cigarette lighter when I need the barbecue !
