But as with "zero tolerance" policies in schools, when a blanket policy is instituted all rational thinking is thrown out the window.
Some kid in his dorm room making fake IDs or altering the birthdate on a real ID so college friends can buy beer is of such little importance that it should be pretty much ignored.
A mass operation dealing in fake documents clearly for the purpose of supplying them to illegal aliens and other undesireables is an operation that should have the full weight of law enforcement launched upon them.
I'll be surprised if these little gems were made in someone's dorm room. Maybe one of the university high-end printers, but not in a dorm room. Watch one of the videos about these: very high quality, and the only "tell" is some missing printing that is so tiny that you'd need a strong magnifying glass to even notice that it's not there.
The thing that has a lot of us concerned, especially those of us who live around here, is that we've already had one terrorist attack that went awry--and is being covered up--and now they're finding these all over the place.
The ones they found were likely purchased in the pursuit of keggers. Evidently, they're cheap enough so that even college students can afford them.
But we don't know who has the id's that weren't found, and who made them in the first place. Even if the trail doesn't lead directly to the Islamic Center (and my bet is that it won't), whoever is making and selling them is probably not being all that picky about who buys them. If they've got the money, they'll sell it to them.
Doesn't that concern you? It does me, but then I live near Norman.
