On my trip to NYC last weekend I lost my driver's license. I know...shocker. I'm just surprised it was only my driver's license. Anyway, the last time this happened (my trip to LA with friends) and had to show up to the airport without any photo ID, I was a little disturbed with what happened.
They put me on a phone with some guy who asked me questions to verify who I was.
What is your SS#?
Do you have a professional degree? What is it? Where did you get it? When did you get it?
What was your last address? (I got that one wrong)
How many sisters do you have?
Let's talk about Emilie. What year was she born? Day and month? Does she have a professional degree?
On and on. I was disturbed by how much information they knew about me. And kind of wondering if they were just collecting more when I gave answers.
When coming home from NYC I was gearing up for the same process. Trying to remember my last several addresses. Reviewing my siblings birthdays. Wondering what new items they would have one me. But it didn't happen. They just looked at 2 of my credit cards and called it good.
Now I'm not sure which one I find more disturbing.

I'm just glad they let you through security...would have been horrible to stay in that tiny, cramped airport any longer!
CREEPY! I lost my DL on the plane in 2006 and they just did a more thorough search of my bags.
