Trying telling that to the TSO in EWR on my way to Huston, Texas. Since I am a foreign visitor the only LEGAL ID while in the US is my passport but no she wanted my divers license when I questioned the reason for that since my german DL isn't legel ID (not even in germany by the way - needs to be accompanied by my ID card) the answer I got was to do as she told me. Running late on my connection I figured I wouldn't question her doubtful request. it did however leave me shaking my head
That's odd. I have used my UAE drivers license at TSA but the past several trips they don't accept it... but they accepted my Prague Metro Pass instead... they can't tell that it is expired because the date has the month written out, but it is in Czech and does not at all resemble an English month name.
