No one hear would disagree with you. None of us understands, either.
The party line seems to be, "an expired ID is no longer an official government ID, and we require an official ID." The fact that it has nothing to do with security is irrelevant. There are a set of rules, and you need to follow them.

Not enirely true. An expired passport can often be used as ID and to verify citizenship. I know it's an option on some of the forms when you start a new job.
Additionally, MD wil accept an expired DL or passport (if less than 1 yr expired) for ID purposes when dealing w the state.
