Today, I was going on a plane to Chicago. My passport picture is 6 years old, and back then I was a beautiful model. Now, I gave birth to a child and gained 50 lbs. When I showed my passport to the airport atendents, I got arrested for stealing someones passport. FML

okay, i couldnt put to much info in my thread because the 300 word limit kept me from writing too much information. As a mom, i can't really go around wearing all this fancy makeup or whatever, it would be unreasonable. Also, i cut my hair to about chin length, and dyed it brown (i used to be blonde) because since im a mom, i wanted to look the part. when i was a model, I was 20-30 lbs underweight, so when I gained 50 lbs, it made a difference to my face. Also, i was NOT travelling from somewhere in the US to Chicago, i was travelling from my vacation in Korea to Chicago. I have a Dutch passport, so its different there. but anyways, im loosing weight and i acually got a new passport picture today so i wont be having this problem again

Why didn't you get a new one when you changed so much? Don't be too hard on those guys, they're just doing their jobs.

They didn't see any sort of facial resemblance?

it can, for none-asians, be very difficult to tell any difference between Asians, because to a none-asian 'they' all look very much the same. That could be an explanation if OP was in an airport in eg. the US

chicago is in America why did u show passport, unless coming from another country? arrested in another country thats scary? but if u made it out of the country i dont see why you couldnt make it back in? and wow you gained 50 lbs in the face. ive never seen a passport but i would imagine it would just be a picture of the face

Don't you have to renew your passport every five years/didn't you have some other kind of ID to prove it was your passport? YDI.

Aww...you may have to get that picture re-taken. I hope you were able to get that all sorted out without too much trouble :(

Well I think changing the passport could have been the least you could have done. The other is try work off the weight.

#3, over half of this site's traffic is from outside of the US. There was an FML from China the other day. Turns out, the US is not the center of the universe after all. ;)

If you had your driver's license with you with the same picture, that alone should've proved it...

Agreed...ydi for answering in the SHOWER

It's possible that that was her form of ID before going through security, or she was coming from another country. Still, terrible experience to go through.

#7 hahaha.
