What TSA says about photo ID
Of course, what Brad Friedman says in his blog about purchasing cigarettes and alcohol without photo ID (driver's license) is legally inaccurate. However, it may unfortunately be the case that he has rarely if ever been required to show a photo ID (driver's license) when purchasing cigarettes or alcohol. He unfortunately will not be the first American to claim that. (Those of us who look younger than our years and also do not live in areas where smoking and drinking are religious pastimes cannot relate to not being asked for photo IDs for damnneareverything.  )

Maybe because it's a state level election that is for a political candidate, not necessarily an elected position. Maybe it was bad wording on my part...for example, I can only vote in the general election because I am neither registered as a democrat nor a republican, so in that regard primaries are more restrictive as to whom can participate.
I also wouldn't recommend showing up at the airport without photo ID unless you don't mind showing up 8 hours before your flight leaves or you don't mind missing your flight. I'm not too familiar with TSA but I've seen (a few times) people who've lost their passport detained 5-6 hours upon entering the country while DHS verifies their identity.
ETA- How about we join the rest of the world and get a photo voter registration card?
