From the department of the completely obvious

Buried in the article about how you can get fake ids that will fool even the experts was the revelation that many buyers of these ids have found themselves the victims of identity theft.

I mean, really. You provide your personal information to a company that specializes in creating fake ids, and you're surprised to find yourself ripped off?

I'm not surprised. I'm really not. There seems to be a large percentage of people who are always completely shocked, shocked, I tell you, that the world does not automatically align with What They Want Right Now, No, There Could Be No Downside. And it's the same among adults and kids, urban and rural alike. I moved from teaching at a Southern California urban school to an Olympic Peninsula rural school, and the same proportion of people I interact with on a daily basis, from students on up, seem to have no clue that the surface is not the depths.
