ID Holders
I usually carry my ID in a small holder which has two sides -- one for my ID, and one for my AA Gold card ( to allow me elite access at certain security checkpoints ). I flew out of Pittsburgh on Monday and the TSA id checker (different, because I thought it used to be an airline subcontractor) told me in the future I need to take out my ID of the holder and that is the process at every airport. Since I fly every week and never have to take my ID out, I almost started saying something about how the TSA has no idea how to do the same thing at every airport, my brain checked my mouth and I said nothing. Also I thought it had been a little bit of a break (2 weeks) since I travelled late so maybe there was some new directive that you have to take your IDs out.
Anyone have any experience at other airports recently? And is TSA now checking IDs rather than Rent-A-Schmuck?
