Everyone else needs to show a passport. No i don't check if everyone with American drivers licenses are American citizens. It also keeps someone out of selectee status if they have a "BAD" passport, but has a "good" American drivers license.
On an unrelated note, anyone know of a way to maximize the miles earned for flying to Guantanamo Bay? Just curious... :cool: |

Whoops; guess I should let my wife know she's going away for a very long time, being a non-citizen and all.

I tried something new yesterday at SJU and MIA... put paper clips in my passport so the only page that could be accessed without removing the paper clips would be my picture page. I used the oversized ones, put in carefully so as to not damage any pages/visas. One paper clip for every 15 pages, overlapping one page each time.
It worked, no thumbing through pages, no secondary, not even a second look. Too often a TSA screener will start flipping through the pages looking for the cover and then starts looking at the stamps. I've had other TSO's sit and flip through all of the stamps and one even remarked, "Gee, what are those postage stamp looking things in your passport?" .... A small paperclip it is... |

I think I'll borrow your idea clipping the pages so that only the cover page can be seen. My original passport is full, I have an extra pages insert, and even that is starting to get filled up.

The new ones (EU format) do...
still no expiration date, though, so I guess that could get the TSA bent out of shape |

I am not sure if anyone knows whether I can use my Australian licence to pass through the TSA check point or not.
The reason is that my passport is deteriorating from being over handled (both by immigration officials and by TSA) and also I don't like the way the id checkers like to flick through the passport to see where you have been - for me it is always a problem because some of the visas invariably mean I get a secondary. I'd be grateful for any insight or experiences. |

For some odd reason, most americans think foreign visitors cannot get USDL's. The first thing I do whenever a friend/relative/etc comes to visit is send them down to DPS/DMV with the "required" documents. Guess what comes in the mail a couple of weeks later? |

One more tiny hole in the old security blanket, eh?

I thought you needed a US social security # and some other stuff to get a drivers license? PM me if you would rather not post it publicly....would be appreciated. |
