Madison County clerk says TSA now recognizes CDL enhanced licenses
Summary
Madison County Clerk Mike Kevel said TSA checkpoints now accept CDL enhanced licenses after a months-long system glitch that had caused some holders to face extra screening, urging travelers to enjoy their trips.
Madison County Clerk Mike Kevel said Monday that Transportation Security Administration checkpoints now recognize CDL enhanced licenses, resolving a system glitch that in recent months had required some holders to undergo extra screening.
"They are able to get through TSA checkpoint without a problem," Kevel said, referring to travelers presenting a CDL enhanced license at airport security. Kevel opened the message as part of his "Mike's Monday" update and described the earlier issue as a data problem in TSA's system.
Kevel said county staff had reported the problem "several months ago" and that the issue involved missing information in the agency's system. "There was a glitch, there was a problem, a lack of, information in their system," he said, adding that the interruptions to travel have ceased.
The announcement is an informational update from the Madison County Clerk's Office; Kevel offered no new local policy or formal action. He closed the message by encouraging residents to "enjoy your flight and enjoy your spring vacation."
