Unfortunately, I didn't have time to spare with this trip (poor planning on my part) as I was running late to a flight that I couldn't miss. After 10-15 minutes of watching this game unfold, I had to relent and pull another ID. Complaint submitted.
No knock on Cincy, but I'm hoping a major world airport like LAX will have seen some of these. If not, escalate.

Out of FLL last week I would only show my NEXUS card. I kept repeating that if the card was good enough to let me into the country it was good enough to fly. I was at the airport with plenty of extra time. I waited for a supervisor and finally the FSD had to come and approve my ID.
How else are these clowns going to learn if we don't hold our ground?
Exactly. Indeed, if you look at the TSA page showing the acceptable forms of ID, the VERY FIRST thing you see is a NEXUS card.
