Question If I do not have a valid Drivers License or state ID how can I still check into my flight?
Answer Yes, but you will have to go through "further screening." This amounts to the TSA officer pulling you to the side to do a thorough search of your carry-on bags, testing your shoes, and waving a metal detection wand around your body (and a quick pat-down).
