The Security Administration Transportation (TSA) has entered a debate on the media of Socia this week, specifying that the IDs of Waffle House owned by certain customers of the Popular Restaurant will not “be enough” as personal identification for travel.

A flight passenger published a photo on X of his yellow waffle house identifier with legend: “TSA might want a real identity document, but I have the most real identifier.”

The position collected around 2.1 million views, with thousands of republication and tastes.

The TSA responded to the corporate position by saying that identification does not respect the federal rules and will not be accepted at the security control points.

“Respectfully, no … The House IDs of waffle will not be enough as a real identification alternative (sorry),” replied TSA on X.
