Same problem commuting out of DAL ... They will not let you through security unless you have an XJT, SWA, or AA ID without a boarding pass. They have been telling me it's to help keep things standardized. I'm not entirely sure he realized what he said, lol.

The TSA are nothing more than glorified crossing guards. The Agency was created using the post 9/11 unemployable! Every minimum wage burger flipper got a badge and a huge raise.
