second of all, I took the trip in 2003. right before our great nation waged war on IRAQ lol. I got through all airport personnel (ticketing/tsa) by using my school ID card. no problem at all. 2 of my friends who went on the trip, also used it. i guess when you are traveling with a school/group, they dont make a big deal about it. I was even able to get in the White House (the tour, they have checklists with names n match them wit id's) and U.s. Capitol/ senate building. (everytime you step foot in there. they check ID's either or run u thru the metal detector). so i guess they are more at ease when you are with groups. I would say bring whatever ID you have. A school ID would probably be best. since you are on a school trip. but be prepared just in case.

-Once again. Domestic flights are much more different than International flights. I explained this on the last thread, and what TSA agents check for. well most of them anyways lol
