The i.d. checker is more interested in impressing you with his/her ability to
1.) read 2.) use the recently issued light and 3.) the need for near vision lenses.

You can fly without i.d.
Why are you sent to secondary screening all the time?

And as your reasons:
1) "hooked on phonics worked for me"
2) I work for TSA, I impress myself when I can use any simple electronics
3) actually I do need to get glasses, but I don't have to hold the license any closer than the tip of my nose.
