For those of you wondering whether I got through security with my half eaten passport... Yes, yes, I did. But, my half eaten passport was not what got me through. What have I learned from this experience?
1. Do not accept dog treats from the humane society in the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
2. If you do accept them, do not put them in your purse.
3. If you do put them in your purse, don't leave your purse on the ground with your only form of identification in it.
4. If you happen to not have any form of identification for traveling, you can still make it through security via a student ID, credit cards, debit cards, etc. Copies of your social security card, birth certificate, and passport will not help you.
5. You will be patted down and all of your items searched if you do not have the appropriate form of ID
6. Most important lesson learned: Don't procrastinate, go ahead and order a new driver's license when you lose yours.
Sincerely,
J
And to the other man who was getting patted down, yes, yes I am glad they did not find any cocaine on me. ;)
