So, the bigger question is...how is the TSA supposed to instantly recognize/verify every badge/ID presented to them? There must be thousands of official badges/ID's issued inside the US.
Couldn't agree more, it's very specific what they are to accept, passport or valid photo ID (state drivers license). I tried using my pistol permit ID. I don't know who got more pissed at me, the TSA guy or my wife. Big mistake, my wife was so pissed she didn't talk to me for two days on our vacation. So much for that fun and games. I just wanted to see how they would react to some other photo ID, not good. The only list I'm on though is her (my wife's) **** list.
