I'd use my Costco card, but it doesn't look like me. It looks more like a bad rorschach test.

It should work. It is, after all, a "Government issued photo ID" All the drones at the airport are going to care about is that the name is the same as what is on the ticket and that it has not expired.

Thanks. If it isn't accepted, what additional screening is there?

I always found that must having an expiration date ridiculous. What? Because it expired yesterday means I'm no longer me? :rolleyes:

I like to use my FL issued firearms concealed carry permit card, especially at places like SFO :p

Did that coming out of ORD...the ID checker had to call a super because (a) the FL CW/FL says "State of Florida" yet my address wasn't in FL and (b) she didn't know if such a card was "legal" to use/have in the first place :rolleyes: But using at MCO was no problem though the checked didn't realize you didn't have to be a resident to get one.

Hmm.. that sounds eerily like my Texas DL with a Florida address :)
