Does his ID fall under one of these?Favorite TSA story: I have a friend that works for the DOJ. When asked to present his photo ID and boarding pass, he whipped out his government creds (a government-issued picture ID). The TSA lady looked at him like he had two heads and shook her head no. He asked what the problem was and she copped an attitude and told him that wouldn't work. He explained to her that it was his government employee ID. She told him it wouldn't work. He had to pull out his driver's license instead, which she accepted. So, she thought a state-issued ID that anybody can get was better proof of identity than one that requires an FBI background check and affords federal security clearance. Like Rox said, idiots.
