he had to take a later flight - they would not let him past security. we tried with every other thing i had in my wallet that proved his ID. however, when i fly these days i find i have to show my ID at security and not at the gate. but in my recent experience you do need a photo ID to fly because if you cannot get to the gate you cannot get to the plane.
