Corrected entry: There is no way Agent Mosely could not know that he didn't have his identification, he would need it to get in and out of FBI headquarters as well as it being standard procedure to show his identification when announcing that he is an agent.

Stupidity: Jack has been using Mosley's badge and identification to pass himself off as FBI. He never once uses this trick to commandeer a civilian car for him and John when it would have been the safest way to get to L.A. much sooner.

Suggested correction: Probably because If he did that, the car's owner like Red the bar owner would eventually call the FBI office to get their car back and then the feds would know the make, model, license plate, and the last location of Walsh and the Duke. The police would have caught them in minutes. Walsh had to keep a low profile.

Correction: Mosely never reaches for it when he meets the pilot. It's possible he knew it was missing off screen and figured he just misplaced it. Only after the pilot tells him that Walsh used his name does he and the other agent figure out where it really went.
