SAS will want to see your passport when you check in. They'll have definitely seen a Swedish emergency passport before, so no issue there.

Your green card is definitely acceptable ID for TSA, whether for domestic or international flights. Start with that. In the event they do ask for a passport (they shouldn't, because whether or not you can get into Sweden on arrival is SAS's problem, not TSA's, but they might), show them the emergency passport.

Really, you're making a mountain out of a molehill here. Is it possible you'll have a problem? Sure, you could also get into a car accident on the way to the airport, for that matter. That said, I really really doubt you're going to run into any trouble whatsoever.
I do thank you for your time. Mountain out a molehill. Maybe maybe not.
After reading what you guys write I get that all airports are different . And of cause everybody working in the airports are different.
I have flown out from LAX Los Angeles since 2001.
And between Sweden and USA since 1973. So I know how to travel.
Start with GC ?
TSA there always asks to have passport out not GC. That to everybody.Should they... nobody questioned that at LAX. Maybe they changed now I dont know.
Now I have moved up North and will fly out of San Francisco. No clue what they do there. We will see.
It always helps to hear how other people see it. Thank you . Have a great weekend.
