I've had ID checkers squint their eyes and cran their necks looking for an expiration date on the ID I usually use which is issued by DOD (not the CAC but close). There isn't one! They seem more upset about that than anything. Only twice have I been challened about it not being a "goverment ID" so I just point out the warning on the back of the card: 'This identification card is property of the US Government'. Mind you, this was the same person that didn't quite "get it" that Baby boy Jonesing's boarding pass in the ticket jacket (he swiped the whole thing from me) in the name of JONESING/BABY INFT is for the BABY hence no, we don't have a photo ID for that pax because he doesn't need one!
