passes in TSA lines. You can slip the boarding pass inside the first two pages and avoid losing any documents. Driver's licences are too small for comfort, and always seem in jeopardy of dropping to the ground, or getting lost in the breast pocket you're carrying that stuff in.

I think I'm just going to switch to the passport for future flights.
