I had been using my expired ID while traveling for the holidays and had no problem getting through LAX or another small airport in South Dakota. When I presented my ID and social security card and credit card to the tsa during my CONNECTING flight they had a whole security show down. My bags were searched and I was fully patted down. I respect the safety the tsa provides but I definitely felt as though they misused their authority. I felt very uncomfortable and it made their tsa seem inconsistent. Not impressed.
