Right on! I have done exactly the same thing. Most store personnel simply don't understand it. They don't trust us. Why should we trust them? I think that EVERYONE should keep hold of his documents, allowing the clerks only to copy the information from them. Further, I refuse to show a credit card (don't want the numbers all over the place). I use a plastic bank machine card that isn't even valid anymore. They're so stupid, they don't know the difference? Brint
