Now here's another question, let's say (assuming you're US citizen) you're aged 16-18, don't have a driver's license yet nor a passport. Is your high school or middle school photo ID (assuming you go to a public school) an acceptable means of government-issued identification?

I asked our TSA inspector this same question as we have several 14 year olds flying at our school. He said yes as public school districts are run by the government. We didn't discuss a private school ID. He is also OK with a passport card, which can apparently be used for travel to select countries only.

Several months back I lost my driver's license while on a trip. To this day, no idea where it went. I didn't have my passport with me, but I did have my Texas concealed handgun license. It's a government-issued photo ID, but I called the Ft. Worth FSDO to verify before flying back and got affirmatives from two different inspectors, one of whom was nice enough to fax over something in writing that they had spoken to me.
The woman I spoke to who faxed the paper over said that I shouldn't have any problems with it (which fortunately I didn't) since it's government issue, has a current picture, and - in her words - "looks official".
Of course, we all know how wonderfully aligned all the FSDOs are in their views...

Do you have a more definitive source on this very fine point?
But I'm no aviation attorney.
