I had ample time so I insisted on using that as my ID and let them hash it out. Apparently they showed it to some BDOs (their phrasing) who gave it the okay.
When the three-striper wouldn't immediately clear it I said, "Then call an AFSD or the FSD." The looks on their faces were priceless.
Normally I wouldn't be so pissy, but 1. It's TSA, and 2. If I have to follow every one of their ridiculous, nonsensical rules, then they must also follow them, including recognizing my GE card as acceptable identification.
Just a note: the back of my card has the "Sentri" logo & label. Sentri IS clearly noted as being acceptable by the TSA.
