Default New TSA rule??

Is there a new rule about not having ID badges in sleeves? I've run into this at a few places.

Haven't heard of it but it seems silly enough to actually be true. "Sir, that doesn't have a $0.30 sleeve around it, clearly you're an impostor."

I should clarify - I was told to take my badge out of the sleeve and that they should remain out

We got a company email about it. Appears that you have to actually hand your badge to TSA so they can inspect it, not covers or sleeves on it. Don't we all feel safer now?

Pilots should begin to slow down through the security checkpoint... Spend as much time as possible to make a point. Keep some your cell on through so you have to go back. Make them understand that we are not the bad guys.

I had to do that once this summer in regular passenger screening...but only once out of the many times I have gone through security. I felt much safer on my flight that day than I haver have! I'm glad they're making this a standard practice...I sleep more soundly now. When I walk through the terminal and encounter a passenger that is afraid of flying and has trouble thinking that hurling a giant, metal tube through the sky at 500kts is safe, I can tell them, "Hey, it's okay. TSA makes me take my badge out of the little sleeve now."

I was asked to go through a different checkpoint because I was jumpseating out of uniform. I listed as usual so instead of moving to the other checkpoint where my ID is all I needed to get through, I showed him my verification card. He wanted to see my drivers license and wanted me to remove it from my wallet. He wouldn't take my company and/or my sida badge as ID. After subjecting them to "Black Light" testing he made a few marks on my verification card and let me through. What ever!!!!

Jes do like I do; walk real slowly, talk real slowly and while they're lookin at yur id reach over real polite like and spend a few moments admirin their id.

It makes them so mad they normally can't see straight by the time I've gotten out of the line. It's really all I can do not to pull out one of my 50lb jepp charts and proceed to beat them with it until the cops get there.
