TSA Passenger ID Check at BWI Airport

TSA Passenger ID Check at BWI Airport?
It is easy to go to an airline site and find out what passenger ID is accepted by the airline. However, BWI passenger ID checks are now done by TSA, and I cannot find a URL that lists everything they will and will not accept. My Iraqi friend's passport series has been cancelled, and he has not yet been able to get a new passport from Baghdad. Because of this, he also does not have a US driver's licence. He has an Iraqi drivers's license and a US college ID, along with his old I-20 and student visa (in the old passport). He has an application for asylum and a credit card. What else will the TSA folks view as credible ID so he can accompany my on a flight between Baltimore and Boise?

Are any of those photo IDs? That's what he needs. They match the picture with the info on the card and on his ticket.

BWI isnt the only place where ID checks are done by TSA. TSA does ID checks at every airport in the US. Credit card and asylum application will not work. Your friend should bring his college ID, student visa and his drivers license.
