Exactly. And that's not theoretical.

In Japan they did just that (after a few hours had passed already). They asked for some document (don't remember what), I pulled it from something similar to a file folder and handed to them. Was then asked to leave everything in the room and escorted back.

They found a list of phone numbers and addresses and asked what those were. They were for Prometric test centers. I was trying to get a Compaq certification at a time, Had already done two tests, was missing the third. I couldn't wait until after I came back from vacation due to a deadline, so had to take the third one there. Had to explain all this in Portuguese to a Spanish translator, to get that translated to Japanese.

I'm still amazed that they let me in. Took the test in Tokyo. Then HP bought Compaq. Poof the certification went.

I was even asked if I was religious. I had this postcard with a christian theme from my grandma to my aunt.
