Transportation Security Administration workers will be getting training on how to recognize District of Columbia driver’s licenses and identification cards. […]
The Washington Post reported earlier this year that a District teacher was questioned about the validity of her license while boarding a plane in Phoenix. Many similar stories later surfaced. …

I wonder just how long that should take - or cost?
I see a big government (read: Taxpayer) funded contract in somebody's future...
And this was a fairly small municipality.
The TSA doesn't have something similar?
Never let anyone with a DC license back into the country.
DC = District of CRIMINALS. Keep them out!
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
I think it should require a valid passport to travel into and out of Washington DC, seeing as how everything they do or say is completely foreign to the rest of the US. May it should be issued for the state of lalaland, or fairyland, as the tone of the WH and the SoS may suggest.
Must be something ‘special’ about DC licenses. Never had any problem with a Texas license in the US. A German cop did run it past his supervisor at a roadblock at a time and place you wouldn’t have expected to find an American driving around.
Isn’t having an ID a “burden”?
The next shoe bomber will likely board with a fake license from the State of Long Island.
If they had hired TSA agents with an IQ over 68, this would not have happened.
Now class, remember “District of Columbia” is in the United States. “Columbia” is in South America. Got it?
Doh! If Columbia is in South America, isn’t that, like, yaknow, America? Like down South?
{Sound of instructor’s hand slapping a forehead.} His own? The student’s? Does it matter?
TSA started on November 19, 2001 - they are just now getting around to this training???
Really?
What other federal agency doesn’t recognize the ID card from where they are headquartered?
At the risk of sounding like a male school marm, the “Columbia” in South America is spelled with two “o’s,”
Colombia.
Spelling of it doesn’t matter, as they obviously can’t read well enough to determine it’s a driver’s license.
New Mexico Magazine used to have a column titled “One of Our 50 is Missing” that recounted stories of our geographically-challenged fellow citizens who weren’t aware that NM has actually been a part of the country for a number of years now. The most aggravating were the ones that featured U.S. school teachers who didn’t know we were part of the U.S.
“Spelling of it doesn’t matter, as they obviously can’t read well enough to determine it’s a driver’s license.”

Well, you certainly have a valid point there.
Some of those TSA people, I’m surprised they can even find their way to the airport before their shift begins.
The TSA. The world’s largest affirmative action work program in history.
