I'm not so much concerned about the TSA checkpoint on return because I feel like I have enough to get back. I'm more concerned about the fact that I've plopped hundreds of dollars on pool party tickets, EDC tickets, etc and all of that goes down the drain without ID. Is it life or death? Nah. I can probably try to sell my tickets and everything and get all the money back, but its 4 days of hanging out with a bunch of friends who are going on the awesome itinerary I planned, but the only thing I can partake in is eating.

I figure a GE card is the next best thing to a drivers license. My other options include renting a car just to drive to the CA border to get the DMV to give me a temporary ID. Or if my ID magically turns up in either airport I set foot in last night.
