Why do people wear their passes around their necks? I have never understood that. First when you ride something you have to tuck them into your shirt, and second, maybe I am just paranoid, but it looks pretty easy for someone to grab your pass as the lanyards have a breakaway velcro strip. I guess I always thought that people who dangle the pass around their neck are just trying to show off.
People act like it's a backstage pass. It's like Wayne's World where they run around and show it to everyone.
It's especially surprising with the number of high schools that require ID's now. Why would you even want to have that burden?

Jeff, my old high school just put the wearing ID's policy into effect. The reason they did this was because they had a problem with a non-student coming into the building and beating up a student. They're hoping it will allow them to identify trespassers, which is why they are willing to deal with it. However, they'll probably spend much more time dealing with students that forgot their ID's, so I don't think it will work.

My school is probably the world leader in ID tags, their production, and detentions if you don't have yours... We have a whole room devoted to them... If you forget it, you have to buy a new one for 5 bucks...which sucks cuz the next day when you find it...you just wasted 5 bucks. Apparently its for security reasons, and to scan at lunch (works like a credit card, basically). But yeah, it sucks...a lot.
