I'm sure you hit it on a bad day/time/unusual circumstance.

However, I would have to disagree with this flat out generalization. OGG is typically a pleasure to transit through. I believe you are mis-characterizing it.

Same for HNL. We typically breeze through both, with minimal time and hassle. Consistently

We just don't see any of the Hawai'i TSA checkpoints as being worse in general than the mainland......and feel sympathy for those who have bad experiences here.

Aloha ahiahi!

You've made that same point a number of times in this thread. We get it.

And we'll have to agree to disagree.

But, regardless, my bad for bringing up a subject other than the topic of the thread which is "LIH TSA refuses valid license". I started the off-topic banter and I'll take full blame for it.

If anyone wants to continue the commentary on TSA actvities at other Hawaiian aiports, feel free to start a new thread.

Thanks.

You might conside wearing a round eye patch over the eye which was damaged by your wallet. In other words, if your authentic or bogus photo ID is not a fair representation of your features, change your features. I suspect wearing the patch would have made your screening process a lot less of an inconvenience.

Stay the curse!
