i paid the extra money to get that flag for travel to mexica/canada/cruises. i went to try and board a plane to Canada with that enhanced ID and was denied. good thing i had my passport as back up.
I believe it only works for land crossings. Not by plane.
ohhh you know what you are correct, my bad! thanks! either way the agent had no clue!
