passport woes
a friend of ours came to the u.s. on a student visa. he went to a bar with some friends. and he used his british passport as id. the bouncer said, sorry this is expired. uh oh. the bouncer continued with, i have to keep it. oh shit?!?! a few fast talking moments later and my friend has his passport back. with a change of plans. i wonder if he could have legally kept it. your drivers license is property of the government. so yes clearly. but a british passport is property of the british government.
