In Texas you can get a non-driver photo ID as well as a driver's license. The logic of this is that there are times and places where you don't want to risk loosing your driver's license. I also have my teacher's 'dog tag' that is a photo ID I'm required to wear at all times when on school property.
However on recent AA flights DFW-TPA and return 2 forms of photo ID were required at check-in. Yes 2! I was about to search for my Sam's card when I thought about my 'dog tag'.
My elderly mother has no form of photo ID, so I realized that I need to get her something. Likely the state issued non-driver photo ID.
Incidently many teachers carry nothing of value into school, locking purses and wallets in their cars. This isn't the best thing to do as your car could be broken in to, but apparently it is safer than having your items with you.
And you wonder why people don't want to teach!
