TSA Stops Reporter for Holding D.C. License; Doesn’t Believe D.C. Is a Real Place

[mota bhai 2,675]

WFTV Washington correspondent Justin Gray was flying back to DC from Orlando, Fla., when a TSA agent halted him for holding a license from a state he didn’t recognize, and asked him for his passport. Gray was confused: he didn’t bring his passport, because his District of Columbia driver’s license should have been sufficient. The agent insisted that he didn’t recognize it.

“At that point, I was a little confused, but then I realized what was going on,” he later told WFTV. “I said to him, ‘Do you not know what the District of Columbia is?’ After some back and forth, it became clear he didn’t.”

Gray was eventually able to board his flight after talking to the agent’s supervisor.

...

The TSA said in a statement that they were now teaching their agents how to identify District of Columbia IDs, which is obviously very heartening to hear.

He should've applied for a tourist visa.

Let me be the first one to address the real issue here: It is Obama's fault. After all this guy works for the TSA.

I could blame the conservative movement. After all, they spent years trying to convince the American people that one of the 50 states was actually a town in Kenya.

D.C. is not one of the 57 states the Kenyan has visited. How would they know ?
