    You can get on a plane if you don’t have an ID, but it’s a huge hassle. They have to call DC and get them to pull your records, so it adds a few hours to your TSA experience.

      Oh yeah, they can absolutely make that work.

      When you try to pass fake documents through, they’re less inclined to be helpful.

        How are these docs fake? They’re not fake they’re just not official USA docs.

          That’s like saying “The Monopoly money I have is very real, just not official USA currency.”

          If they’re sitting in your drawer at home, they’re a toy. The moment you try to use them as official docs, they’re fake and you’ve at minimum committed fraud.

      I’m glad you made it! It’s good to know there’s an option.
