Recently, a story was filed under the “Facepalms-hard-enough-to-cause-traumatic-brain-injuries” category: A Transportation Security Agency (TSA) agent in Orlando almost did not let a reporter on his flight because the reporter had a license that the TSA officer didn’t recognize — from the District of Columbia.
Americans with an elementary school education will remember that the District of Columbia, while not specifically a state, is the home of Washington, our nation’s capital, and is in fact the “DC” in “Washington, DC.”
