I went through a version of this at SFO (also Virgin America) when the license in my wallet turned out to be expired, and somehow I'd left the current one at home (I use a different wallet for travel, so transfer stuff).
Unfortunately, after zooming through special security with my expired Photo License so no need for credit cards, etc., I was actually on the plane when I realized I needed to rent a car when I landed in Boston. No can do with an expired license. Had to get off the plane, and call my housemate who had just gotten home from driving me to the airport. He found my current license, drove back to the airport, gave it to me, and I took a later flight, so late that I ended up staying at the airport Hilton in Boston because I had a long drive to Albany for a 3 pm meeting... bit of a chinese fire drill.

You have my sympathies, glad it all worked out.
