Hey no big deal. Living in NEW Mexico it happens all the time, traveling, moving, economy, etc. You name it, we see it. We even have columns in the New Mexico Magazine and some newspapers giving examples of supposedly knowledgeable (although public educated) people not realizing there is not a blank space between Texas and Arizona.

I and supprised the TSA agent was even able to speak English or Spanish. I would not even be surprised to find this event happend at one of the airports around DC, i.e., Maryland, Virginia, or DC.

We are living in the movie ‘Idiocracy’. Pray for president Camacho to save us!

Wrongo. They finally realized how stupid they were in the movie. We just keep getting worse.

I always enjoy stories where members of the media are inconvenienced by the stupid people they’ve created.

The tsa employees in my experience aren’t the brightest bulbs. I really think they would be unable to get a job any place else. Most are bumbling and somewhat attitude-prone. What a pathetic lot.

Does the District of Columbia driver’s license comply with the Real ID act, or does the Real ID act just apply to the states?

The TSA is a jobs program.

They may as well just serve coffee at airports.

.Gray said he asked the agent if he knew what the District of Columbia is, and after a brief conversation Gray realized the man did not know.

Imagine the trouble you'd have with a New Mexico drivers License!

I don’t know — stupidity adds an interesting dimension to probability...

The probability that a terrorist is going to outsmart this TSA agent at some time in the near future??

I bet some of those TSA guys have sent people from New Mexico to Immigration.

I was born and raised in Michigan and until I retired here in Virginia in the late 90s I maintained my Michigan residence.

I was traveling from where I was stationed in North Dakota to my home in the Lower Peninsula to go deer hunting with my family and decided to stop in Escanaba to eat. It should be noted that Escanaba is in the Upper Peninsula.

Since there was a K Mart next to the restaurant I went to their sporting goods department to pick up my license and the clerk told me I had to buy an out of state license since I was hunting in the Lower Peninsula even though I showed him my Michigan driver’s license. I had to have the store manager order the guy to sell me the in-state license and the clerk still insisted I needed the out of state license.

It is amazing how many people are ignorant, stupid, or both.

#17: If you are talking about former Governor Richardson, then yes, “he is a foreign country and sometimes a Mexican state”.

That is how he acted and still does. Too much desert sun!

My small back pack i use every day to work to carry lunch stuff. when i get CA i’m poking around in the small pack and there in the pack is a 12 inch dinner knife (i take stainless for lunch) and my bike toolkit kinda swiss army without knives. right thru the screener. left them in CA to be mailed back.

Yep, we do need them! They can go to assist the border patrol at the Rio Grand......
