Yes, and drive people choose to fly in the day of cruise too. Not saying people aren't entitled to make their choices. I'm saying there are some choices that allow for circumstances that aren't always in our control.
I advocate for getting a second form of gov ID even if you're not traveling. If you're military, good for you. If you have a green card, there it is. If not, a passport is a choice too.
OP I hope you were able to resolve your situation.
