Feds plan IDs to restrict volunteers at disasters

Some say program would shield first first responders from needed criticism

NEW YORK - Retiree Gene O’Brien hurried to the World Trade Center site after Sept. 11, 2001, as a volunteer helping to shuttle supplies to police and fire workers. Some days, his only ID to get into the disaster site was a tattoo on his forearm.

“A couple times I showed them my Marine tattoo, and they said go ahead,” recalled O’Brien, adding that he and other volunteers also came up with their own makeshift identification cards.

“We didn’t forge anything, we just made them up with our own pictures and at one point we copied a UPC code off a Pepsi can and they were as good as gold,” said the Scarsdale resident.
