Hawaiian’s First 787!

We say Beep Beep when riding in a paceline.

I'm sure in your deluded state, you do. The problem is your history on PW.

You can fly out of Hawaii (Honolulu) with a digital drivers license, but not if you’re from Hawaii, because we don’t have approved digital IDs:

Just nine states are good so far.   "Not any digital driver’s license works; it must be issued by one of the nine states whose mobile IDs are compliant with TSA technology."

I guess we should be thankful that we have plastic card with picture drivers licenses/ID cards instead of the older style drivers licenses printed on thick paper with a hi speed line printer with perforated tear offs!

Anyone been having problems with their new Gold Star Hawaiian drivers license not being able to be scanned at a TSA checkpoint?

I’m on my 3rd replacement one in the last 3 years. Will see how it works tomorrow at Hilo on our trip to Honolulu.

It sounds like you're on one of their lists.  Have you seen this video?  Every TSA employee is a fit, disciplined, almost diabolical genius- lean, mean, counter-terrorism machine:

Exactly.
Every one I’ve encountered is like a combination of Jack Reacher (Amazon Prime) and a Marvel superhero. As it should be. For their job description.

OMG terracore! That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time!

Just to show you how diabolical TSA can be, several weeks ago I escorted my neighbor to Oahu for a medical appointment. Unfortunately, she got her brand new renewed State of Hawaii ID card and forgot to put it in her wallet. Her old ID card was 3 weeks expired. 

Now mind you, this lady could be the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of a Native Hawaiian Tutu. Plus she knows about 80% of everybody at the airport. 

But not that day. After initially being refused entry, and after talking to 3 other TSA workers a supervisor comes over and says “she’s ok guys. Let her thru.”

For a moment there, I think a few of those TSA boys thought they had a big fish terrorist for sure!

As for me being on one of their lists, I think you’re right. Back in 2015, on the day before New Year’s Eve going into 2016, my employer (in California) summoned me for an emergency signature requirement on some legal paperwork that absolutely positively had to be signed and filed by midnight of December 31st

So I arranged to have someone from the office meet me at LAX and took the red eye flight out of Kona to LAX that got into LAX at around 5AM. I met the employee, signed the paperwork and went back into LAX and got on the 9AM flight and back to Kona at about noon. 

I was immediately met with TSA and Hawaii County Police who asked lots and lots of questions. The only baggage I had was my purse and laptop. Made me wait until each and every checked bag was claimed. Asked repeatedly why I would fly to California and back in a few hours. Initially they did not believe me, but eventually let me go. 

Got another visit from the police 2 days later at home in the Acres again asking why I flew back and forth to California. I was able to then show the officers a PDF scan of what documents I went there to sign and have not heard from them since. I’m even TSA PreCheck. But for sure, I know TSA has their diabolical eyes on me watching my every move!

HiloJulie, if that is your real name, your subterfuge might have been overlooked by the TSA, Hawaii County Police, and possibly others... but let us make this clear:

We don't know who you are. We don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, we can tell you we don't have money. But what we do have are a very particular set of skills, skills we have acquired over very long Punaweb careers. Skills that make us a nightmare for people like you. If you let the Punaweb Bar and Grill go, that'll be the end of it. We will not look for you, we will not pursue you. But if you don't, we will look for you, we will find you, and we will seat you in the back by the restrooms. Your food will come out cold, and your drinks will be warm.

First terracore, if that is your real name, I am the nightmare! Or as Walter White said, “I am the one who knocks!”

Secondly, make sure you send that misogynistic volcano picture taker to come find me. 

Lastly, when I’m seated next to the bathrooms and my cold food and warm drinks come out, it better be bland Asian food and warm Bud Light or there will be absolutely pure hell to pay once I grab my fighting cocks from the trunk of my car!

ETA: Please define who is “we” and “us”. It’s hard to keep track without a scorecard!

Now THAT would be an epic crossover!
