Today’s acronyms are TSA, ONT, and mDL.
I finally found a legitimate use for my California mobile driver’s license (mDL) this afternoon.
Ontario International Airport (ONT) allows people without tickets to reserve a day pass to see departing passengers off. The day pass functions as the equivalent of a real passenger’s boarding pass…with appropriate identification.
Both the day pass and my mDL were in my smartphone wallet, so all went smoothly. I wasn’t paying enough attention to know if the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) compared my live face to my mDL, but they probably did.
And I can confirm that Richard Reid rule is gone: no shoe removal required. Belts are another matter.
No true pictures, just an artistic re-creation.
