The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) entered a social media debate this week by clarifying that the Waffle House IDs possessed by some customers of the popular restaurant will “not suffice” as personal identification for travel.
A flight passenger posted a photo on X of his yellow Waffle House ID with the caption, “TSA might want REAL ID, but I have the realest ID.”
The post garnered some 2.1 million views, with thousands of reposts and likes.
TSA responded to the social post by saying the ID does not comply with federal rules and will not be accepted at security check points.
“Respectfully, no … Waffle House IDs will not suffice as a REAL ID alternative (sorry),” TSA responded on X.
Fox News Digital reached out to Waffle House for further details.
Many X users took to the comments section to weigh in on the post.
“How does one even acquire this?” asked a man.
Another user commented, “And I thought this was America.”
Said yet another person, “I have never been so jealous of an internet stranger.”
A user asked, “Where do I get my Waffle House identification?”
“Honestly, takes a lot more documentation to get that badge than REAL ID does,” commented an X user.
One man joked, “I thought [the] Costco card was the realest ID.”

I understand it is the rule there for customers to fight when dissed.
House rules?
I have been told that Waffle House restaurants can be used to determine the strength of a tornado. They are all built exactly alike and enough have been hit with tornados that the damage level can be equated to tornado strength.
First rule of Waffle House is that you do not talk about Waffle House Club.
I understand it is the rule there for customers to fight when dissed.
your papers please...
The sad thing is the idiot at TSA who felt compelled to respond to a social media post about a silly ID card from a popular chain restaurant, but then TSA has many such idiots. Just shut up. It is a silly post from a random party. You don’t need to respond to everything. Idiots.
Tickets to the next Waffle House cage match?
“I have been told that Waffle House restaurants can be used to determine the strength of a tornado.”
“Waffle House is known for its ability to remain open 24/7, even during extreme weather events, which has led to the creation of the Waffle House Index.”
“The Waffle House Index is an informal metric used to gauge the severity of a storm’s impact on a community, based on the operational status of Waffle House locations in the affected area.”
“FEMA unofficially uses the Waffle House Index to assess the damage in an area and inform disaster response efforts. An open Waffle House can signify that a community is on the path to recovery, as it provides a sense of normalcy and can serve both residents and first responders.”
I understand it is the rule there for customers to fight when dissed.
At least the fight participants can get IDs now.
how about my blockbuster card?
You know you’re in trouble when Waffle House closes.
Pres. Trump, you could solve this with the stroke of a pen.
Issue every American citizen a passport, renewed periodically.
Make a passport the gold standard for ID.
I’d like to think TSA was in on the joke. It’s ok to laugh and josh around with Trump in office.
Just a reminder ID is not required for domestic flights.
“Just a reminder ID is not required for domestic flights.”
Not true.

Me and the fam were driving through Georgia a couple months ago on our way back to NJ, and the older kids insisted on stopping at Waffle House. When in Georgia, do as the Georgians do.
The place was a greasy spoon, but the service was top notch—waitress had a legit accent and was just the right combination of sweet and mildly annoyed. As for the clientele, we were about the rowdiest ones in there (my kids are between the ages of 23 and 14), and there were a lot of friendly trucker-types and other hard working folks that I get along with. And the food was stick-to-your-ribs good. I’m getting hungry right now just thinking about it.
True. You just comfirmed it with your own worthless reply. Read the entire page at your link.
TSA does not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling within the United States.
