have you ever tried to burn a small book or thin one or a stack of papers , much of the inner part does nor burn unless it smolders for hours.
explosions do not always produce long burning fires, or shred everything. i have yet to see any pictures of the passports from 911 or this attack but i bet there are burn marks around the edges.
plus many people that travel to any place in the world use their passports for ID because some places will not except a drivers licenses or other forms of ID for foreign travelers. so that's why they carry them
You don't need to carry your passport around Paris.

The law (Art. 78-1 to 78-6 of the French Code of criminal procedure (Code de procédure pénale)[35] mentions only that during an ID check performed by police, gendarmerie or customs officer, one can prove his identity "by any means", the validity of which is left to the judgment of the law enforcement official. Though not stated explicitly in the law, an ID card, a driving licence, a passport, a visa, a Carte de Séjour, a voting card are sufficient according to jurisprudency. The decision to accept other documents, with or without the bearer's photograph, like a Social Security card, a travel card or a bank card, is left to the discretion of the law enforcement officer.
