One of the things this association does is solicit various issues people run into due to having a Feb 29 birthday. One of the latest things reported to him was:

"A fellow member was delayed clearing security at an airport because a TSA agent didn't believe that Feb 29 was a valid birthdate as printed on his passport. He was eventually cleared but not without a delay."

Do TSA agents need special refreshing training on basic calendar knowledge?
