You will need it as ID if you have a MT, MN, MO or ME driver's license and want to fly after Jan, 2018.

I think it's more that the USPS loses all kinds of things all the time. I've taken to paying extra to have places ship things to me via UPS/Fedex if I can, as I have a 60%-70% success rate in actually receiving anything sent to me via US Mail.

Just last week, we had a tracked Priority Mail piece scanned as "undeliverable - no secure location" at the end of the delivery day. It was just a standard size letter envelope, which would fit easily inside our locked box in the secure mail center at our condo. It was later scanned back at the post office, then back out for delivery, then "Available for pickup", then...nothing. Already have a replacement that came via FedEx and USPS still hasn't figured out what happened to the original (and no, it's not actually available for pickup at the post office).

/rant ... sorry

I actually have taken to using my GE card as my primary form of airport identification. TSA and check-in agents in any location easily recognize it, and it has a limited amount of personal information printed on it in case it gets lost, so I feel more comfortable just carrying it loose in my pocket and leaving my wallet securely tucked away in a bag or another pocket or something.

And of course that date will change just like the last several have......

Yes, doesn't everyone? meaning 100 ml. The bottle is 120ml.

MN passed legislation to become compliant.

WA is voting to explicitly remain non-compliant. Want to see the first day they reject most fliers drivers license at SEA.

The airlines make a killing. Sorry you didn't have the needed documents and thus you need to purchase a new ticket.

of course they'll fail to tell people you can fly domestic without any ID.

I wonder how that is going to work for people with Clear since you don't have to show your ID at the airport. (or are you required to have a passport for clear, I can't remember if they required a passport or accepted a drivers license). Will they have to present a new drivers license to clear that is compliant first?

I flew one time with my Costco ID. I got in an accident driving to the DTW airport and since I had an Ohio drivers license and got sited was told they could keep my license as a bond. I always keep my passport and a credit card and an ATM card in my backpack in case my wallet gets lost or stolen for extra ID and emergency case but it happened while my passport was in the process of being renewed I remember I had to have my hands swabbed and I think they may have done a patdown as well

Did they swap them back, or do you shake with your left hand now?

Oops, corrected LOL

Mr. Tickets

With Clear you don't need a passport, but Clear is at so few airports, not sure it helps. When I did my Clear appointment in Minneapolis, I mentioned I was getting a MN Enhanced Driver's License and the Clear rep said "We are not equipped to deal with those yet". That confused me as I was not sure why it would make a difference. I applied for my MN EDL and they said it would take 4 to 6 weeks. I checked the web site yesterday and it said it was in the mail (10 days from app). Not sure MN is equipped to handle the last minute rush to get EDL's to people who procrastinate until the last minute.

Since they've passed legislation I doubt they'll cut off access if a bunch of people haven't gotten new licenses.

As for Clear, they make you answer the same three question ID pro essential during enrollment that TSA uses for no ID passengers. Thus I see no issue with Clear.

Mr. Tickets

Not worried about MN airports taking the old licenses, it is other states accepting them. Trying to explain to RSW need to accept a non compliant ID might be more complicated. Easier to just get the new compliant EDL now
