Avino got a temporary ID sporting the strainer after telling people it was a religious headdress. He is a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. But the department officials later changed their minds and said Avino would have to retake the picture.

Massachusetts Pastafarian Lindsay Miller went through a similar experience.
