    We flew to WDW last February and decided we better get licenses that showed our proper address after we moved the previous November. BIG mistake!

    The permanent license had not come by the time we left for WDW so all we had was the old license with the corner clipped and the paperwork showing we'd applied for a new one.

    I was worried when the counter agent really questioned us about the change of address and she put a big black X on both of our boarding passes (which I noticed no one else had).

    That apparently targeted us as risky passengers, because as we passed through security we were asked to step out of line for a hand search of our carry-ons and a full body search.

    Long story short: Keep your present license. They never care what the address is as long as it is a permanent license. My daughter flew with us to Disneyland in July the address on her license reflected our old address. No one questioned it or cared.

    Don't scare the poor airport security folks like that. ;)
