This will get you through the TSA.

The fact that you still use "INS" is enough to make your idea invalid.

Deng, when I fly I show them a valid driver's license, and that has worked. TSA is not customs, IDK why they questioned you like that? If I was you I would consult with an immigration attorney, to see if they violated any laws?

There are handful of cases where people like us get caught by the TSA (they usually detain you and call the ICE, since TSA can't check the database, but they CAN hold you until ICE gets there.) Few of those cases were published in the media, but god knows how many people actually get caught this way.


I can only compare this to DUI, you can finess your way out of it for so long, but eventually that one cop who sees your busted taillight will pull you over, and your life is done.

I don't want to sound harsh but I feel like I need to emphasize my point so some of you guys don't get screwed 6 months before Dream passes
There is no need to risk unless you have to. This is a great analogy by the way.

Im glad to hear youre ok.

did this happen during a change of planes or was your flight a one way trip???

On tues when you come back is there a way for you to get a direct flight? so you don't expose your self more?

please be careful, and the next time you show your passport (on ur return flight) remain as calm and "normal" as humanly possible.

remember you can call me if you need to.

Consult with an immigration attorney? they though that he's suspicious so they checked his legal status. TSA is security and they are allowed to check everything on a person if he looks suspicious to prevent another 9/11.
If they broke his human right, which they didn't, he shouldn't consult an immigration lawyer if he want to sue, immigration lawyers do immigration - if it's a human right violation then it's something else.

Just take the bus, it's the best idea. Are you going to vegas to gamble and have fun or for other purposes? Enjoy vegas.

It has been extensively discussed that there is no problem when flying with a valid driver's license or state ID.

Poor thing. I hope this doesn't put a damper on your trip, but it probably will. Try not to ruminate about it. With luck it won't happen to you again.
