Yeh, I don't carry a second thing other than my permanent residence, which is not valid ID in most places. I honestly think the person is just reading the screen "SECONDARY ID CHECK" and not understanding what it means. Perhaps SSSS popped up and they're not sure what it really entails? Can't think of any other case I've ever heard of someone asking for a second ID
