I have a coworker who is traveling from SEA to Texas for xmas. He moved to Washington but never got a WA. id and his TX id is not expired and WA is making him jump through crazy mad hoops to get a new state id. I remember some on here someone saying that an id is not required by law to fly. I remember a few yrs back forgetting my id (post 9/11) but I had my wallet which contained my ss card (I think), debit card and credit card. The kind lady at AA marked my boarding pass and I was able to get through security with no hassle. So is flying without an id or even an expired on an option?
