18. TSA Rules allow you to fly without Photo ID

The actual TSA rules allows one to fly without a photo id http://www.huffingtonpost.com/debbie-hines/voter-id-laws_b_1247008.html

A comparison of these strict state photo voter ID laws to the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) requirements to fly show it is harder to vote than it is to fly. Republican proponents of strict photo voter ID laws argue that the same documents are needed to fly. Everyone does not fly. And TSA is more flexible in its approach to airport security screening than the strict photo voter ID laws. TSA's web site states that where photo government documents are not available, there are other ways to verify the identity of the traveler. TSA will allow airport travelers to fly where the required documents are missing. A traveler can pass through security and fly if they do not own a driver's license, state photo ID or passport. According to TSA,

"Not having a {photo} ID, does not necessarily mean a passenger won't be allowed to fly. If passengers are willing to provide additional information, we have other means of substantiating someone's identity, like using publicly available databases."
