The TSA agent at ATL this afternoon (North Terminal) stated he "hadn't seen one of these in years". After that remark, he called over a co-worker who shrugged her shoulders and said "ask him for another ID".
There were a few people behind me so rather than hold up the line I presented my Driver's License.
After clearing, I went to one of the booths and asked for a Supervisor. I showed the GE card and asked if she knew what it was. She acknowledged she did. I then told her one of her ID checkers didn't and wouldn't accept it as a valid government issued ID. She remarked "what's your point?".
After that I simply mentioned perhaps this was a training issue that should be addressed. In return I got an look like who are you to be telling the TSA how to do their job.
Amazing.........
