Article Excerpt: "After driver’s licenses and other state-issued forms of ID were required to meet REAL ID standards to fly in May, reports emerged of American military retirees facing additional screening at airports. ...After using official retired military IDs, which lack expiration dates and are labeled ‘indefinite,” retiree ID cards are reportedly interpreted as expired by TSA computers, because they are not recognized as a REAL ID. ...Spencer added, “I don’t recall them [federal officials] sharing any information about it. So, it’s like we have this big unknown that a lot of us over 65 retirees maybe don’t know about.”
While the Department of Homeland Security’s website insists retired military IDs will continue to be accepted at TSA checkpoints"
