    Seems to me that security at Pima would be more interested in your citizenship than an address that could easily be faked.

    And it's not like anything there is a state secret or anything. I mean, heck they have B52's and B1's visibly destroyed on the ground visible to satellites as a part of treaty compliance. (1991 SALT, iirc) http://cdn.neonsky.com/4bd5ebf97479c...216-0276-1.jpg

    It's simpler and stupider than you think. Many places ONLY subscribe to ID services that understand US driver's licence bar codes. I found out about that when a bank needed a scan of both sides of "a government issued ID". Ok, here's my passport data page and to be more complete a scan of my Russian visa in it and the covers with the serial number. Nope, no good. by "government issued ID" they mean US driver's license and nothing else. The scan of the back is all they really use, it's got the bar code.

    Even though these birds are not combat ready, I understand they are considered part of the military aircraft inventory.

    My license came up for renewal right after they started the Real ID which looks like the normal driver's license but is "better". Quite some time after I'd received it, traveled to Turkey and Russia once or twice, I received a letter in the mail that they hadn't properly issued the early ones. I had to immediately provide more proof of ID, they wanted a current utility bill mailed to them.

    Ah, security. I feel so much better now.

    The real irony would have been if one of the further accepted proofs of identity had been a US passport.
