There's good news for military personnel with new Common Access Cards, as well as retirees and military family members who received the Defense Department's next-generation identification card during the past two years: The IDs now work at Transportation Security Administration security checkpoints at all U.S. airports.
For the past two years, those with the new cards have needed to produce an alternate form of identification at many airports, since the IDs' barcodes were incompatible with the TSA's scanning system.

Lt Col Charlie Brown It's about time. Classic case of one government agency not communicating with another!

I never had a problem using my military ID at airports; never realized this was a problem.

CW4 Guy Butler Bank of America would not accept my Retired ID card with it’s “Indefinite” expiration date as a valid ID due to it’s not having an expiration date!
