Bad analogy...no one is getting a passport so they can actually fly a plane.

Do I need a valid license to ride in a car?

In the event you arrive at the airport without proper ID, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. By providing additional information, TSA has other ways to confirm your identity, like using publicly available databases, so you can reach your flight.


My wife had to go through this before. US flight regulations are kind of ridiculous. But hey, if you pay $$$ you don't have to take off your belt and shoes

I also love how tablets can stay in the bag but not a laptop. That makes sense

I'm really confused ...my nephew got his DL last week. Had to go back THREE times b/c:

1. had notorized copy of birth certificate, had to get an ORIGINAL

2. came back with ORIGINAL, found some other document he needed (not sure what)

3. Finally got the damned thing. Three tries.

My questions is this: the article states that LA residents cannot use their state issued DLs because they are not made to prove residency or citizenship. Why were they so adamant about him having an ORIGINAL birth certificate, then?

Not yet. A lot have just simply filed for extensions (like TX).

Yea, I've said in other threads that ID is not required for your flight, only for ticketing.

TSA is an absolute joke so I don't have a problem with LA turning their noses up at this request.

Act like an adult and not ridicule people who don't have or want a passport in a large country where you can travel long distances and never need one.....until 2016 at least.

And passports are only good for 10 years, so you'll be paying it again and again and again.

I respect that someone may not want one, but I don't understand why they would be so opposed to having one. It's simple to get, relatively cheap and come in very handy even when not needed for travel. Why the anti-passport feelings by some?

It's pretty easy to get a license on the first go around. Follow their simple requirements (to the word) and save extra trips to the DMV.

just playing the devil's advocate here but you can easily hide things in a laptop (they have a lot more places, they have lids that close, etc) than you can with a touch screen, single-body tablet.

Just sayin.

I don't plan on paying for my kids' passports once they move out and are on their own. So you'd really only be paying for your kids' first passport. Assuming you got them one at 11, they can pay for it when they are 21, 31, 41, etc.

Are you not following me?

If being compliant means having to do all that crap every five years, it is going to be a PITA.

I was replying to a poster who said his state was compliant and that's what he had to do.

Why would I be mad at my own state for a federal requirement?

Bingo. And, they are more dense and make it harder for them to see the xray of the entire bag.

He won't post in this thread again.

He lacks reading comprehension skills.
