In practice, fleeing the jurisdiction is only viable if one is rich enough to have the resources (stashed away in an offshore bank and/or wired via family) to live the rest of one's life as a fugitive without having to be employed. (ie. False identities are getting harder and harder to pull off for long periods of time).

I saw this on youtube and thought it could fit this thread - fictional movie IDs and passports props!

Why spend $200 to $300 on a passport that you'll never use? Wasted time, money, and effort expended. Who the hell wants to wait hours in a passport line unless it's 100% required?

Yep. Though Passport Cards will limit your subpoena evasion tactics as they can't be used for International Air Travel.

Slow time of year. There is a rush of applications for people traveling over the holidays and the next rush is spring break so now is a good time to renew.
