    Passport card is sufficient for land & sea travel to/from USA to Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, & Bermuda. Passport card is also good for govt ID purposes.

    If you have a possibility of air travel during the duration of your Passport you need the Passport book. Passport card is NOT valid for air travel if a Passport is required.

    WTF, no one needs to worry unless they think they are some sort of constitional lawyer.

    They ask questions, you answer them truthfully and then you go.

    Must be referring to the articles where people think they don't need any kind of ID.
