For most states, your expired drivers license IS a valid form of ID for a minimum of SIX months past its expiry date (even for driving). The reason for this is simple, many states do not issue new licences on the spot. They instead issue a flimsy piece of paper that has a validity for anywhere between 2 and 6 months so that you have a "valid" license while waiting for your "photo" license to arrive. As many of these states in fact technically require a photo on the license, the paper license is nothing more than a "receipt" that you have in fact applied and been accepted for a new license. In fact these security idiots HAVE TO in fact accept your expired license as they CANNOT by law accept a paper temp license if it does not have a photo. SOLUTION: Demand that a police officer be brought forward to verify your ID (after six months they may have a case against you).
