Regardless of how much or how little this TSA Agent makes... I could care less if he works for $1 an hour or if he makes $100k a year.... it has zero bearing to this conversation... he is still "airport police" and should at the very least know that the District of Columbia is the capitol of the united states.... AND he should be very well aware of ALL the US drivers licenses... it is, after all, HIS JOB TO KNOW THIS.... no excuses, I'm sorry... with that said, he still did the right thing after not recognizing the license by asking for help...
And recognize US passports, passport cards, Enhanced Drivers Licenses, Trusted Traveler Program cards (NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST), U.S. Military identification card when traveling on official orders, U.S. Merchant Mariner documents when traveling in conjunction with official maritime business, Form I-872 American Indian Cards, Enhanced Tribal Cards, and tribal driver's licenses. Oh, and DC cards, throw those in. Messicans, Canuckistanis, and Bermudanians have some special privileges. The unemployed who majored in art or sociology in college would be ideal for TSA work, owing to their sweet and gentle dispositions, practical ability to recognize various colored objects, and unmatched knowledge and certainty that Washington, DC is the US capital. Besides which it would give them hope, long lines of cheerful clients to socialize with -- clients with puzzling odors (cheese? old band-aids? cyanide? horseplop?) wafting from their unshod feet, and the long-term wherewithal to pay off their mountainous debts. It's a win-win scenario and, I dare say, a federal test could be devised to draft them into this patriotic endeavor they might otherwise forbear. -- Ned _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
