I was told I needed a valid form of ID, So I couldnt travel. I later looked into it via GOOGLE and found alot of people who had the same problem as I so I challenged the TSA again and showed them my expired DL they said they couldnt accept it I explained to them that is my only form of ID I also showed them a letter from the DMV that wasn't acceptable I then showed them a letter from TSA showing that i didnt need a Valid ID but the My DL was good enough to prove who i was , I was screened like I was a criminal and was granted to go to my destination... So getting your facts in order and having everything ready before going to the airport was a plus for me I tried to fly interisland and was not able to do so because my DL id was invalid… I was told I needed a valid form of ID, So I couldnt travel.

I have flown several times since 9-11-2001 without a "government issued ID." However, I have corrected my political status. Most people born within the geographical boundries of on of the fifty states called the "United States of America" refer to themselves as United States citizens. If this is done then that person is presumed to be a citizen of the "United States" which is different than the "United States of America." I have corrected my status to that of an Arizona national, which removes me from the purview of any "United States" statute. However, this matters little to the NAZI style workers at the TSA for they have not a clue what the law is or what it requires. They only Follow Orders. I might add that I actually do have an ID. I contracted to have it made and it is very professional looking. It is a Certificate of Identification and identifies me as a national of the country of Arizona. Yes, Arizona is a country just as all the other fifty states are. When traveling the last two times at the end of 2008 I did complete the ID verification form for the TSA at Phoenix, Arizona, and Akron/Canton, Ohio, but the information on that form is exactly the same information on my ID. Do you find that strange? If anyone from this web site would like to contact my in this regard it can be done at the email address I entered to submit this comment. Just put Arizona national on the subject line so I will not delete it thinking it is SPAM. Sincerely, Monroe Maxhimer, Arizona national I can verify that this story as told is true.
