I'm flying with my 17 yo son today.  He as a HS ID and an expired learner's permit.  The internet says those under 18 yo don't need an ID to fly, but his ticket says "Adult" and he looks like an adult.  Is this going to be a problem?  I expect not, but the wife is concerned and I figured some of you would have experience with this.

I know your problem’s resolved, but: Most airlines don’t require student IDs because they aren’t issued by all schools. Any that do require identification for minors(especially under 16) usually will tell you so when buying the ticket.
I was more concerned with TSA, but I just said he was 17 and there was no problem, I assume that's how it's going to play out this evening when we go back.  It probably helps that he looks just like me (minus the beard) and I use my military ID as my ....ahem...ID.
