If you dig around the TS/S forums you'll see countless examples of TSA accepting and not accepting valid/invalid ID. This is just another example of that. Also, DCA TSA knows full well that their purse strings frequent their airport. Which makes me think they would be a little more lenient on certain things.

DOB is on the back:

As for requiring DOB, I think everything on TSA's allowed list does include DOB (though not sure about TWIC, Airline/Airport ID, and Canadian ID). The PIV card standard (NIST's FIPS 201-1) does not require DOB.
