I'm going to assume (yes, I know what that makes me) the person processing ID was not a peace officer. It was in secure (maintenace) area for one of the airlines and the airline issued the badge, not FAA or other arm of government.atxgun wrote:I'm not sure about the scope of CK's visit but if he was going beyond a secure area he wouldn't be carrying anyway right?

Here's my question. He told me he "had" to show his DL + CHL when getting his airport ID badge. Not because of the clients procedures/policy but rather TX law.
Is that true or false?
EDIT: I stand corrected. The other contractor's ID badge was issued by Houston Airport System, not the airline.
atxgun responded they same way I was thinking, if it's not a PO asking for it, and you're not carrying, no requirement to present CHL.
