Unless they have probable cause they better not ask for my ID

I assumed they were looking for drunks. Couple of my passengers had a beer
in hand. I had a Vernor's ginger ale, myself. Maybe they saw four fifty
year-old men in a thirty year-old ski boat loafing along next to a large
power plant and suspected we might be working for al Qaeda. Come to think of
it, we all had beards.
