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.........
I've reached the point with their unaccountability that I have no problem any more holding the line up. If anyone says anything to me about it, I'll point out that TSA doesn't even follow their own rules & if they did there would be no delay.
