Frak! You are so right. Remember this convo in the BDM?

"I see no listing of rank or name."
"I have neither. Like this facility, I don't exist."

The point? An Ident Card that had Book's name on it can't possibly have revealed his identity as an Operative, too! (sic!) So, following that logic, his Ident Card must have stated something generic, like: "Military clearance, level 5." Or some such.

And later Book explains to Mal that, indeed, Operatives work kinda off the grid:

"Much as they want her, they want her hid. That means closed file. Means an Operative."
