Tried this at DEN, LAX, SFO and ORD just for kicks. The reactions have largely been the same, "Uhhhhh do you have any other ID?" Sometimes they just stare at it and if it's for more than a couple of minutes I give them my passport to move the line along.
Last year I got ID'd a bar in some town in Colorado and I wasn't carrying my passport on me so I showed the bartender my Singapore ID. "Singapore? Singapore? That's not a real place. This isn't a real ID." Pulled up the Singapore page on Wikipedia and he finally let me have a beer.
