And Atlanta Hartsfield has such a huge problem with firearms, I'm not surprised they had the knee jerk reaction you described.
Military ID is fine for TSA. LTC is NOT, but not because the Real ID thing. That just got pushed back again. A driver’s license or passport is preferred, though. Many airports have newly hired officers working the ID check station. If you ever have an issue with TSA, ask for a Supervisor.
TSA will only accept recently issued military IDs that have the Common Access Card code that they can scan.
