Hi fellow FTers,
I fly without ID whenever I fly domestically. I've done it over 12 times now, but it can often be a crap-shoot, depending on the training of the TSA agent that I run into. Pulling out a copy of the appeals court ruling in Gilmore v. Gonzales is often futile, as TSA agents are not qualified (nor able in many cases) to parse the language in the court document.
I've spent the summer sending letters back and forth to TSA, and I finally got something from them on TSA letterhead, in easy to read english, which documents our flight to fly without showing ID.
I'll be printing it out and taking it with me on every future flight.
The letter can be seen here:

If you print it out, and have any trouble with it at the airport- please drop me an email (csoghoian AT gmail DOT com).
Cheers
Chris
