I gotta say that in my opinion.. (and I've been working as a doorman for 6 years..) this Dr Frank Sirninger doesn't really seem to understand much about nightlife and bars. The man in the door seldom cares why he has to do something, 99 percent of the time he just does what he is told. If he has to refuse anyone without passport so be it wether they are 10 or 80. In my country it's ultra-strict. If you let someone in that's drunk, underaged, has no id, looks drug'ed or has a fake id the club will get a hefty fine and might even get closed for 2-6 weeks (and consequently lose big amounts of sale/income) And the club will fine the doorman responsible. To most people the doorman is just a dumb arrogant person who won't let you in (and sometimes her might be but most times he is just doing his job, knowing all the time that if there's a raid he might lose a lot of money and maybe even his job if he makes a mistake.

Oh by the way.. Tampering with passports will get you sent to jail for 2-5 years here I think (worst case..) I would avoid it if possible
Just my humble thoughts..
