I tried but they lied and told me it wasn't an option.

So I told them the sign above me said it was.

So she lied and told me my ID had to be issued within the past year (mine was 14 mo. old).

So I asked to speak to her manager.

So she told me to step aside and lied that she'd call her manager.

After waiting five minutes looking at her not call the manager, I started whistling the anthem, loudly, at a crowded major city airport.

The manager rushed over.

He asked what the problem was, and asked to see my ID. So he sounded it into the scanner triggering my picture.

He pretended that that was a mistake. So I told him he was really cute piece of work.

I filled a complaint with the TSA.

They answered that they took the incident very seriously and never followed up.

Let's be honest, that just puts you on the extra scrutiny list going forward

And exactly what good does that do? The government already has your face tied to your ID and knows you’re flying
