I have a passport, but it's kind of expensive to replace - and I travel internationally frequently/can't risk losing it, so I don't bring it if I don't have to.

I guess my other question is, can they decline every ID I have with me? My DL is ReadID compliant and the GE card obviously is. Is something else going on here? Screener threatened to confiscate my DL, so I'm pretty concerned, and curious what law allows them to do that.
