TSA agent: "I'm sorry, the picture on your GE card isnt acceptable"

Odd one....

Yes, it is a crap picture. I didnt know what the agent was doing when he took the picture at my GE inteview. But, CBP approved the pciture and sent me the ID. I use that instead of a DL for TSA.


After 200 or so trips, one agent said "this isnt an acceptable pciture, it doesnt show your whole face"

huh?

Indeed, a bit of my chin is cut off. But I pointed out that CBP issued the ID, none of it was my doing. He asked 'do you have another ID?'

"No"

(I had DL and passport)

Supervisor called. They spoke for a bit, super didnt understand what the issue was becuase the agent was saying the ID wasnt valid. Super finally unerstands the agents issue with the picture.

I though the supervisor wa going to smack him.

I get waved through, as I am walking to the belt, the supervisor walks along side and mutters "sorry. Im dealing with a moron there"
