I will fight it out with them later.

I am still beyond furious at this blatant lunacy. But, that is the M.O. of our modern society.

Now to try and get my money back from the attempt. Any bets on whether or not I will ever see it again?

I want ahead and got my normal class D renewed.

However, an Enhanced I.D. would allow me to:
*Can be used to cross the U.S. border to and from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean, by land or sea.
*Is a U.S. citizenship document, in keeping with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.
*Is an optional form of a REAL ID that can be used for domestic air travel and to access federal facilities.

So, now I cannot do those things. I doubt I will be traveling anywhere, but the documentation thing and being denied access to federal facilities is insulting. I cannot replace my Social Security card if I cannot enter the building where I have to go to replace it.
