Almost everyone arriving in Vancouver will have a passport in any

You mean you want me to trust that you have seen an ID issued by, for

indicates that a particular name goes with the person pictured and that
that person uses a particular certificate? And that is supposed to be
helpful to me how?

I've really never understood this model of trust. Unless you can convey
to me what kinds of things you sign and on what basis, I can't assign
any value to your assurances. Joe Touch's recent comment seems right:
"as long as endorsements are equal, they're only as good as your weakest
one."
(And no, I don't have greater faith in CA-based certs. Just because
there are currently only two choices doesn't mean I have to like either
one.)
