Someones gonna get their ass rotorootered by the TSA the second they try to go through customs with this

You kinda want them to manage to get past the TSA so they can get arrested trying to illegally enter another country and have to decide if getting help from the state department is worth admitting they are a US citizen

Yes, lets go with that instead.

I haven't traveled out of the US in quite a while but I don't think you have to show TSA a passport but you do need identification to get through

I don't know about TSA (I've never not used my passport as ID when traveling internationally).

But the airlines will validate your documents before giving you a boarding pass. You have to either scan it into the app or show it to an agent at check-in.

A lot of the time (if not always), they require you to use your passport as your ID for international flights

Some countries, like Australia, require you to show the airline a valid visa before you fly. If you land without one, the airline is responsible for the cost to repatriate you. Obviously to get a visa, you'd need a valid passport.

"But I got a visa! See? It's the $500 visa gift card that I used to buy this passport"

Yes, but heavens forbid getting a bank account.

Now I'm tempted to start an online service to issue visas to all destinations for World Passports owners...
