Well, when I fly they ask for 'government issued' picture ID, and
I present my UC Berkeley student ID for inspection. They usually
grumble at me, but I grumble back, and in the end they've always
accepted it. Try it sometime. (And yes, my student ID is probably
eminently forgable -- it looks very ragged and unprofessional.)
P.S. At JFK I had a guy tell me that they preferred to see my
social security card! I was completely surprised, since it has no
picture, and (I think) says 'this card not to be used for identification
purposes' at the bottom. Anyone know anything about this?
