Maybe my newly minted Sam's Club card or my pending photo credit cards will work .

People lose IDs all the time. When I was at the DMV in March there were 2 people in line with me who needed new IDs to catch a flight the next day. If they are in a different state that is not an option though.

North Carolina really needs to get Libertarian accepted as a valid party for registration so I can state my affiliation and get a response such as "oh, you're one of those!"

Travel isn't fun anymore. Every angle seems to suck more. TSA, FF programs, work policies.
