Valid Identification

DURING a readiness exercise, my friend Jim and I, Air Force security policemen, were guarding entry to a bunker-like structure where aircrafts were kept.

When a pilot about to do a preflight check approached without his identification in plain view, Jim asked him for it.

- I don't see why I have to show you my ID - the pilot snapped.

- After all, it is my plane.

- Sir, with all due respect, it may be your plane - replied Jim.

- but it's sitting in my garage!
