Reply #99: Granted, you can't go without your passport,

[Ms. Toad]

so the suggestion you travel without it was inappropriate,

. . . but I've watched that retrieval process and the when I watched it, it required a couple of levels of supervisors and finding someone with a magic key. One poor soul lost a driver's license down there the last time I flew, and was still standing there after I got the the front of the long line and was headed to security because they hadn't been able to find the right combination of people with authority and keys.
