I know people have been posting time and time again about having no problems with TSA agents at airports, but I just couldn't face even the slightest risk of getting reprehended. Now with the deferred action process, I feel a little reassured, but I would really appreciate hearing from you if you've read more literature whether those qualified are now safe to fly domestically. I understand that you can't prove to them your qualifications just yet because USCIS isn't accepting applications for deferred action, but being that deportations have halted, will your immigration status matter less? Any thoughts???

Yes, I would think so, but you still need to have ID that the TSA accepts. I mean they're kind of assholes to everybody.

There is always a chance of being detained as the past has shown us here on this forum. If you qualify for the latest change, there is still a chance (even if minor) that you may be questioned and detained if your status is revealed. Just to be ultra safe, make sure you have your documents gathered that prove your eligibility just in case. You can quickly prove you are eligible and released faster than if you weren't prepared.

Guys, you have absolutely nothing to worry about when you fly domestically as long as you have a passport from your country. They don't care about your immigration status, they just want to make sure the name on your ID matches the name on your ticket.

I've flown over 30 times domestically and never had any problems!

But that's not all, listen to this. A couple of years ago, just as I was about to leave for the airport to fly from New York to Colorado I realized my passport was missing. I didn't know what to do, so I grabbed my expired state ID and went to the airport. The guy at the checkpoint quickly noticed my ID was expired and said I couldn't go, but I told him I use it all the time and it's the only document I have with me at the moment. He called his manager who came over and asked if I had any other document on me such as my old passport, credit card with my name, etc. I told him I didn't and guess what? He looked at me, asked me where I was going and let me through the gate. Yes, I boarded the plane with an expired state ID.

By the time I got to Colorado my stepfather found my passport - it was stuck between the sofa cushions of the living room couch. It must have slipped out of my pocket. He Fed-Exed the passport to me and that was the end of the story.

The moral of the story is this, don't be afraid to fly domestically, the airport agents don't care about your immigration status when you fly within the 50 states. And always check between your sofa cushions when your passport goes missing.
