    I’ve seen it work if you can show them a Price Club, Price Costco, and Costco Wholesale card, with the names matching of course. This is know as the 3/4th’s rule, where you show at least 3 out of the 4 known club cards. Google “Costco rule34” for more info. Don’t tell more than one person though, it’s a secret 🤫

    The TSA says the list of acceptable IDs is subject to change without notice.

    WTF!?

      Are you new to the TSA?

      It’s a joke, and literal security theater. They have never prevented anything serious, ever. They fail 90-95% when DHS test their ability to detect weapons.

        Not new, my first encounter with them was many years ago now, when they were new, but I only ever have any interaction with them when visiting the US.

    TSA is awake enough to notice the wrong ID? Don’t they tend to allow a lot of weapons?

      I think you misunderstood the purpose of TSA.

      Their job is surveillance. Costco cards dont permit that. Real IDs do.

        Like everything in Idocracy, you take something everyday and make it more streamlined and efficient, then stupider, then repeat the stupid part a few more times.

        In this case we see the evolution of the employee smock, apron, and id badge, into one all-purpose garment. It’s even one-size-fits-all.

    The time when it would’ve seemed to everyone an unacceptable intrusion to make routine demands that travellers show their ID anywhere other than at international borders is still within living memory.

    What about the Costco credit card? Not only does it have a photo but it requires an official credit check.
