Having been one of those "married women," I've always known bringing any legal documentation that demonstrates your identity (or how it's changed over time) is standard -- its not unreasonable, it's common sense. It's more detailed now, but um, yeah that makes sense too.
It's annoying when the media champions the cause of people unwilling to be responsible for themselves. This really isn't an agency problem (though their attitude obviously is). I was updating and maintaining my identity documentation way before 9-11 and Identity theft. It's just common sense. I don't care if you're an old lady or a ministers wife -- there are tons of ways to prove (and steal) ones identity. I'm sure they'd be the first to whine when their identity is stolen and they feel some agency should have been stricter in enforcement then.
(and sorry, elderly and religious somehow carrying the guise of innocent and non-suspect? Try living in Florida for a while, and you'll find quite a few silver haired and silver tongued con artists...) ;) oy ve!
