When I last departed from Atlanta the TSA would not accept passport cards in their card reading machines. I had to have a passport or a driver's license. Nothing else would be accepted. Barring anyone of those then I would have to manually screened. This was several months ago and I don't know if TSA has fixed this problem. The TSA agent told me that even their TSA identification, a federally issued photo ID, would not work in the machines.
You do go through the TSA checkpoint where the ID is checked and a photograph taken. Not much different than immigration. In fact, more painful as TSA is doing the domestic checks.

So you don't use mobile boarding passes either then? To each their own, I suppose.Twitch streamer Hasan Piker says he was questioned by U.S. Customs at airport
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said “claims that his political beliefs triggered the inspection are baseless.”
To acknowledge, as someone corrected me, this is just for domestic travel.
Point stands though that this is dangerous times and I definitely don't want to open my phone up to potential access, regardless of whatever safeguards are currently im place
I like having a printed boarding pass to use as a bookmarkSo you don't use mobile boarding passes either then? To each their own, I suppose.
Fair enough. And for sentimental reasons too, right?)
Your post also reminded me that I've travelled to countries that require a visa to be affixed inside a paper passport, so... New sticker case for the iPhone? LOL
I’ve noticed the same. Years ago it seemed I almost always got a stamp. Now it’s something I take notice of when I do.
I think it's part of their training. I saw two agents happily chatting but their expressions changed 180 degrees when they went into the booth.
Interesting, all of the countries I've visited with my new (2 year old) passport stamp. Japan, Switzerland, Italy & Germany.
Certainly, but hardly because they were using mobile id's, or was that the reason for their detention?
Ja, soon we will have "show me your papers" electronically. Not sure how I feel about more checkpoints.🍸😼
Are you American? We’ve had the e-passport since around 2005. The little rectangle on the front with the circle? That’s a biometric log system. Europe doesn’t stamp anymore, so you caught some dinosaur entry points. The entire schengen area will stop at the end of this year.
That doesn’t happen. If they don’t accept your digital ID, you get the fun screening questions similar to a credit card report but you don’t usually miss the flight.
