Yes, I am. People ARE cattle. We're tracked every day. Being asked for identification and/or your name and address isn't exactly a huge breach of privacy. Just do it, it's no loss to you.

If you end up in a scenario where you need them I bet you'll expect them to be there for you at the drop of a hat yet there's no wiggle room for courtesy in return hey? Just move the phone when asked, give your id/name/address when asked, it doesn't need to be a big scene.
