And what, exactly, is the point of the photo on this woman's ID?

Comments: Photo ID

if you look at the picture on the id carefully you will note her eyes are blocked out.

At first I thought Pam was kidding and I laughed. Then I looked at the picture closely and she is telling the truth. That is even funnier!

It's impossible to tell whether that was done by Reuters, after the photo was taken (to respect the subject's religious beliefs), or if it is covered in the ID itself.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
