I remember getting grilled by TSA for a "District of Columbia" DL and asked for a passport.

That looks like a library card

[–] [email protected] 44 points 4 months ago

Except a library card would allow you to check out books.

Is that a photo of his fingerprint on the right?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago

In blood... That way you know it's serious

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago

It is. They're into that.

What does waived threw mean? Waived through?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago

Waved through.

What’s Sky Habor?

Phoenix International Airport

Meaning either someone at CBP really fucked up or this guy is lying. I'd say it's even odds.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh it's a lie. Arizona has ids that don't need to be renewed until your 65 years old. The tsa here has specific training to identify those ids really quick. This would not have made it through... like at all. This doesn't look anything like any id in this state. Including the tribal stuff.

Have you been to an airport?

Yes... I've been to Sky Harbor International Airport literally twice a year minimum for the past 8-ish years. And hundreds of times prior to that.

I’ve never seen people who care less about their jobs in my life

I'm sorry you believe that "everyone" just doesn't care about their jobs. But Arizona in specific poses an interesting ID problem that requires training. I'm sorry you don't understand that. AZ in particular is hard because we have "non-travel" drivers licenses that expire when the individual carrying them turns 65 (meaning you can get your license at 18 and carry it until you're 65). On top of that we have a number of Indian populations in this state, which have their own IDs. Unfortunately for your belief, TSA agents are trained on how to deal with this in particular here. And yes, I believe that people can be trained to read an ID. Regardless of how I feel about the uselessness of their job and the "security theater" aspect of it.

not a smile to find anywhere

Waahhh... people are doing their jobs without smiling! It's the end of the world! They must also be morons! /s

I'm sorry but this speaks more about you than them.

Look man, I flew through both Washington D. C. airports in the last year. At both of them, TSA and airport police, federal law enforcement were lacidasical in their awareness and scanning; standing in clusters; not watching movement or behavior - they were checked out. TSA in particular was more interested in chatting/gossiping with coworkers than interacting with their screenees.

ID Checks were cursory at best - at Reagan, as I was getting out my driver's license for the ID check where they scan it in prior to entry into the screening area, the dude said, and I quote: "don't worry about it man, I'm just wasting time until my shift is over." I didn't have to provide any ID OR A BOARDING PASS to enter the secured area - the later of which has been a mainstay of airport security since I was a private security screener during the first Gulf War.

Cool. That's not Sky Harbor in Phoenix.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Such a badass name for an airport

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

He was waved through Sky Harbor airport, LOL

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

All right, I can understand “waived threw”, because those are actual words. How did “habor” happen, though? Spell check exists!

Edit: pardon me. I seem to have fallen into the ago-old trap of trying to apply logic and reason to sovcit stuff. Never mind.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Saddens me a bit. People like this remind me of my grandpa. He never got a good education and is borderline illiterate, much like a lot of the people you see here. He also falls for similar ways of thinking. I believe that you see a lot of this obvious lack of proficiency in language among these folks because a good education, among other things, helps to immunize you against bullshit. These people never got that, and it makes me feel sorry for them.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ooh, do update us when you encounter actual law enforcement.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

If he had done something this dumb he would have encountered them there and then.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’d almost believe this happening, as a mistake on the part of a security guy somewhere who looks at thousands of IDs a day. Except that Sky Harbor is an international airport. TSA puts all driver’s licenses in electronic readers. This thing never would have passed that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I don't believe him for a minute lol.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Lolol F to doubt.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Even if this was true, what's funny to me is that it would only be noteworthy if it was a mistake. If sovcit nonsense actually worked then... Why would anyone feel the need to share that it worked that one random time? It would only ever be interesting if it was an anomaly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Wait till he tells a cop that it got accepted just the other day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What does the "House" part mean and say?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think Tempe? His original photo was too hard to see.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Looks like Yavapai to me... he could be from Yavapai county.
