i/d #1: shows who you are
i/d #2: show that the i/d used to i/d yourself is in fact valid and one
i/d #3: simply has the word baaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh on it*


*if you do not have i/d #3, you will now be allowed to fly
You know you may not be far from the truth on this one. Kind of scary I know, but I have antedotaly seen a request/demand for a credit card or some other piece of ID to verify the name on the primary ID at a TSA checkpoint already. I actually wouldn't be suprised to see in the future the rules for the checkers be, REAL ID and a second form of ID confirming at least a portion of the information on the REAL ID. Or that TSA will get credit card swipers and with the requests for more data from the airlines, demand that the pax present the credit card used for payment at the checkpoint.
