Re: Traveling to South Padre, what about CBP

A little off topic, but two years ago I flew out of Brownsville, a border agent asked for my ID prior to the TSA check point. I open my wallet to get my DL and he saw my CHL ID. He quickly became suspicious and wanted to know why I had two IDs. I explained it was my CHL ID and also informed him I had no weapon on me.
He told me he had never seen a CHL ID. He just saw my picture on the ID and thought I might be carrying two different IDs.
We were both polite to each other, I went on and boarded the plane. No problems. I was just surprised he had never seen a CHL ID before ( I know, LTC now, but CHL back then).
