I just print out a copy of that and carry it with my itinerary. If I meet a TDC who doesn't like my ID I show them the printout. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I have tried to hand it to them and they just look away.
I have had them to take it and drop (throw?) it on the floor.
They have taken it and thrown it away without looking.
They have taken it, turned it upside down on the podium.
I have been told it is out of date.
I have been told that anyone can fake a printout.
I have had a few that looked at it and read it in my presence. Most just hand it back and continue their refusal.
I even went to the trouble to print out business cards with the url on it so that it could be looked up.
Lately, since the label, I am near 100% without escalation. Before, it was about 50%. It may be training, it may be the label. It may be a combination.
