TSA: how to pass security check if you lost your ID

This just happened to me and when I reached TSA I only had on me 2 outdated passports and GOES pre-check.

Here is what I learned:
In such situation GOES is worth nothing, won't help.
Obsolete passport don't count as ID (this made no sense to the supervisor either)

EITHER

  • 3 pieces with your name, one of which should include your photo: obsolete passports, electricity bill, a magazine with your name and address on it, credit card, Costco card
OR
  • Answer some Bank-security type questions like "give me a former address you lived in"
Then go through pat-down.
That's it.
