You are only a pilot when you are in uniform.. duh. Just like a police officer is only a police officer while in uniform.

(sarcasm to the extreme).

You mean straight through like all the people that work at the Starbucks, Wolfgang Puck, newstand, shoeshine, barber, PGA Shop, Brookstone, etc......?

Also, it is not a valid form of identification unless you are in uniform.

That's the rule and how dare you question the TSA's authority

Funny thing is the TSA website indicates a valid ID w/no mention of uniform requirements. When I run into this, I ask for a supervisor to correct the misperception if I have time and if the line isn't too long. Only run into issues w/ doing so when I'm jumping up and down and screaming at the idiotic screener

I am convinced the creation of TSA is a conspiracy to reduce the number of pilots in the workforce thru frustration, firings, mass quitting and other methods of attrition... they are idiots, in the truest meaning of the word... and evidence the government can't do anything right.
