BC are acceptable forms of ID for TSA. However, TSA will take expired DL and passports expired up to one year.
I will add this, though: I recently saw a an airline refuse to issue a BP to a passenger because his ID was expired by a few months. TSA would not have had a problem with his ID, he would have made it through the checkpoint. The airline was Contiential.
So I now suggest to people to bring something, anything, BC, SS, etc, to help check in with the airline - if needed - to get your BP. And then present whatever you want to TSA.
