And therein lies the problem. How does one define "reasonably recent"? Clearly 40 years (as in my strawman) is too long; clearly 40 days is too short. TSA, IIRC, has picked one year as the limit past which they won't accept an expired ID. It's an arbitrary decision, and we could debate what the actual number should be ... but at least it's a clear objective standard.
