What's more annoying is that my CURRENT military ID isn't acceptable in lieu of a TWIC. Yet I had to go through far more rigorous screening to get in than anyone with a TWIC. Plus I have over 14 years in the military, if I were going to be a problem, they'd know by now..
If I were pres. I'd do it like the Romans did...after 15 to 20 in the military Id buy them a farm and let em retire.
