>>This seems like government working well. An overzealous governmental employee denies a valid document, for whatever confused or malicious reason. Denied person contacts their congress representative. The congress rep gets the issue fixed.<< Not really. Seems a bit overkill to have to contact your congress representative to fix a problem like this that never should've been an issue. In fact, it seems that the government is starting to become a bit overzealous. Without knowing the statistics of how often stuff like this happens over the years it is hard to tell. Although I did read an article stating that the government was ramping up this sort of thing [1]. To me it looks like a very dangerous trend. Start with just a few cases like this and then ramp it up little by little. Somebody seems to be boiling the frog slowly.
