Granted the picture on my GE card is the relatively worse when compared to my DL, passport, and retired military ID that are all acceptable forms of ID. I used it a couple of times after I got the card and while it was never refused I could tell the TSA ID checker was less than thrilled. I might have been reading more into their reaction than I should have after my GE interview. I was warned, in a derisive manner, by the CBP GE interviewer that while it was acceptable some TSA personnel had problems with it. While it didn't or hasn't happened to me I think one of the best story about the acceptability of the GE card, and I think reported here in some thread, is the TSA checker who refused to accept a GE card as ID because it was issued by a foreign government.
