Got out Real ID drivers license years ago. Fancy holograms and other features. But strangely, TSA scanners couldn’t read mine. They would try like 3 times and then look at me funny and let me go. Happened every time. We moved and got a new license and this one works. But I’d rather carry a card in my wallet than my passport within the USA.
When it comes to stuff like this you have top ask are the authorities “incompetent” or “intentionally incompetent”. How can it still be a choice, we believed it to be mandatory to get a license renewal.
