A great idea! I’m thinking I’ll do roughly the same in the future, keeping copies on my laptop and on my iPhone…

It helps in cases like yours. Hi Tim,

I thought it was odd that TSA never looked at the photo of my passport, as they used other methods to determine I was being truthful about my identity. But I'll certainly have some backup identification and credit card options on future trips! Tim Paul,

I think I will scan our driver licences and passports to load onto our lap top, but also print copies and have them in the bowels of our suitcase or better yet in our carry ons, like camera gear, etc. Then have them lock safely at our destination, should we need them. She said that having copies of those documents is recomended for travel. Hope you made it home safely. Paul Pokrywka Tim,
