> Rattled off his CA DL#, got a putdown, and was good to go.

Can I opt for the non-putdown line?



No. You get the special line staffed by TSA agents who moonlight as cynical standup comedians used to dealing with hecklers.


I lost my DL while visiting family a while ago. I was told that without a suitable photo ID, I'd have to do the "enhanced patdown". It was just like every other patdown I've ever been in, except the person took a little more time instead of rushing me through.
