Re:ID Required in France (Score 2, Informative)

I work as a police officer in a Schengen country and spent last year working at an international airport where I did boarder control. When traveling between two Schengen countries you are required to have a valid travel ID with you. In most cases this is a passport since only a few countries have other travel ID's. People, including EU citizens, are stopped at random for an ID check at Schengen boarders. Now im working in a small town and just last weekend I asked a EU-citizen to show me his travel ID so it does happen (although rather rarely)
