How does your suggestion above help the OP? He wants it replaced
without a fee, or did you miss that?

That was the OP's issue. You suggested a
non-solution to the OP's problem-- one that involved telling a lie. Perhaps you didn't read the OP correctly, or perhaps you were unable to give him any useful advice so you just spouted random advice?
I'm still trying to understand how "you didn't tell them you lost it" is a response to "DPS won't issue me a replacement without another license fee[/U][/B] - nuts to that".

You'd have to ask the OP that, but since you don't quote other posts in your posts, I have no idea whom you are asking.

Actually,
mrcav asked a question regarding his future travel, and
TSO1973,
JoeBas and
davef139 provided answers. Then
pmocek and
N965VJ asked related questions and I responded to
N965VJ with my related experience.
I can't find a single place in this thread where someone complained about the TSA unless you consider "just be prepared for some possible snotty attitude" to be a complaint. If that's the case, you have a very low threshold.
