I flew out of KSFO a few days ago. I handed the TSA woman my boarding pass and drivers license like I have done hundreds of times. She rejects my CA drivers license. Huh? I ask why and she said the expiration date is stamped out. I explain that I just had a motorcycle license amended, they issued me a temporary cert and that is the valid government photo ID. She said it must have an expiration date. I explain, the photo ID (my drivers license) does not have an expiration date otherwise I would not be able to use it in conjunction with the temporary. I go on saying that I am using drivers license solely for photo id and not for driving and therefore do not need the temp cert. Blah blah blah. I'm talking to a moron who works for a moronic agency. I dig out the temporary certificate buried in my laptop bag (it would be in my wallet but I didn't need it for the trip and was too big for my wallet). 30 seconds later I'm through. This email took longer to type than to deal with it but I literally could have been stranded since I don't normally carry my passport. I guess I should now start doing that for 'international travel within the US.' I can't be the first person this has happened too. So what is valid photo ID? Let's see what happens tomorrow at KBOS.
