This shit has surpassed ridiculous. I feel like the writers of Spaceballs, and Idiocracy, are somehow making things happen.

    I can’t even imagine fucking around with immigration or the TSA. I get stopped often enough when I’m not doing anything.

    Funny story. I usually use my Passport Card when I travel domestically. Makes sense, right? I mean how much more official of an ID can you have from the government. Anyway, a few weeks ago I was flying from NC to FL. I get to the TSA agent, and hand her my ID (Passport Card) and boarding pass. You would have thought I had handed her some piece of alien technology. She looked at it, turned it over a few times and then asked me “Do you have your passport, or any other ID”. I was literally dumbfounded. In all the years that I’ve been doing this, it’s never once been questioned, or caused any confusion. I replied “ma’am, you’re literally holding my passport in your hand”. Shockingly, that did nothing to alleviate the confusion, and she eventually had to get a supervisor to help. Coming back from FL, handed the TSA agent the card, they scanned it and told me to move along lol.
