What does TSA see when they scan your ID?

Ugh, that little moment when they scan your ID at the airport… always gives me the jitters, you know? What are they seeing anyway? It feels like they’re peering into my soul, dissecting my entire existence based on that little plastic card. Name, obviously, birthdate – which suddenly feels way too personal – address… the whole shebang. They’re making sure it all matches my ticket perfectly, right? It’s all part of that Real ID deal, isn’t it? Supposedly to keep us safe from, you know, the bad guys. Which, okay, fine, I get it. But still… a tad invasive, no? Like, last time I flew, I swear the TSA agent did a double-take at my photo. It’s a few years old, okay?! My hair’s different now! Is that going to cause some sort of international incident? Probably not, but the thought crosses my mind. It’s like that time my friend Sarah got flagged because her name is similar to someone on a watchlist. Can you imagine? Talk about stressful! So yeah, while I appreciate the security measures and all, I can’t help but feel a little… exposed. Anyone else feel that way? Or is it just me being paranoid? Maybe I should just invest in a more updated ID photo…
