Think you only need a passport to board an international flight? In 2016, some fliers better have one to fly domestic, which means they had better be paying their taxes. It now looks as though your passport could be cancelled if you owe the IRS. The Real ID Act created a national standard for state-issued IDs. It hits air travel in 2016. Some states initially refused to comply, fearing that the feds would make a national database of citizens. Others cited high administrative costs and a 50% increase in fees for drivers. Most states are OK, but millions in Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire and New York may have to start using a passport to fly domestically.
Those states skipped the stricter standards for state-issued IDs. As a result, the TSA could insist on passports rather than driverâs licenses to board flights. The TSA will accept $55 passport cards and $135 passport books as valid identification. But some advice says that people in Minnesota should get passports by January 2016 to fly domestically. New York has been granted a waiver, so any driverâs license should still work. Louisiana has a waiver until Oct. 10, 2016, meaning that existing driverâs licenses work there too. Ditto for New Hampshire which has a waiver until June 1, 2016.

Attach a rider requiring a passport to vote and....

Glad you used the right word “Riot.”
Sick of hearing them called protestors, or activists.
.
Just like the old Soviet Union!
And has it been asked which passport the Resident Puppet will be using? Does ValJar’s puppet have a US passport or only a foreign one? Inquiring minds wish to know.
It is breathtaking how quickly we have morphed into the old Soviet Union.
Reagan famously stated that freedom is always only a generation from being lost.
Reagan was wrong. It took 14 years.
protesters make statements....right or wrong
activista engage in some sort of allegedly positive ..action.
RIOTERS ,,on the other hand ...loot, destroy and kill !
BLM wants to burn whitey to the ground and that must be regarded as engaging in riotous behavior.
Yep. It was called a "propiska" if I remember corectly.
So goes the pursuit of happiness.
Real ID act, TSA and HSA, my god, why do I keep voting for stooges that put this crap into law?
I am just saying we need to clean up around here.
I just get frustrated.
It seems these will be the only ones provided with ‘em. They are the majority who will never find themselves overtaxed- unlike the rest of US
“But IRS Can Revoke Passports For Taxes”
Or for being a member of the Tea Party.
.
A nation that runs on “free stuff” can’t afford to run short.
.
The TSA will accept $55 passport cards and $135 passport books as valid identification.
= = =
But issuing ID cards for free for voters is too expensive for them.
Doesn’t this interfere with our constitutional right to travel across state lines? Passports are expensive, I think for some people the cost might be quite a burden.
I think the “Rand” meant was “Ayn.”
Just the opposite. State IDs become irrelevant and national IDs become law.
That is a generation using the privileged class in the US—Welfare Recipients.
Really messed up, isn’t it? To fly from Milwaukee to LA you need a passport. To cross the US border from Mexico, you just need dark skin.
Anyone with HALF A BRAIN would have a passport already, given where this country will end up if a Democrat (or RINO) gets elected in 2016.
