As the Real ID program becomes mandatory for domestic air travel on May 7, 2025, Americans face a stark choice between privacy concerns and compliance, fundamentally altering the landscape of personal identification in the US.

I don’t know what a Real ID is but I have no plans to ever fly again. But real ID sounds like Big Brother.
IN NYS, many opt for the “Enhanced Drivers License” which allows entry into Canada. Not sure why people go there, but they need it. The Enhanced is a step up from the “Real ID”.
Most illegals do not have passports. All those folks loaded on planes aren’t showing passports.
"Right now, we have young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word computer is. They don't know, they don't know these things," ~ Gov. Hochul
Was not meant to offend. Well, not offend anybody except Hochul and her voters.
Marxist Nation. Much more to come.
Not in Pennsylvania ... just got a generic driver’s license ... needed to go through a separate process to get a Real ID compliant license, but didn’t bother. (I have a passport)
Many of them work in Canada?
The liquor store still does not require Real ID. Neither do access checkpoints to government building. Rental trucks? Still only require a valid drivers license, not one marked for Real ID.
How about this idea, though: require Read ID to run for political office, or to be a licensed lawyer. From dog-catcher to Supreme Court judge.
Sorry, forgot the sarcasm tag.
I realize they don’t.
Some literally walk here from Ecuador. If they had any money they would just fly into Orlando on a tourist visa and never leave. Like so many have too.
“They fly on Spirit Airlines.”
That makes sense.
One of the reasons we stopped flying was the Real ID program. Now planes falling apart has reinforced that decision.
Trump could get rid of it.
Florida has had this implemented for a decade. It’s not hard.
Long overdue to finish this. Seriously, how many legit American citizens cannot prove their citizenship to get a RealID?
Of course. But illegal aliens, who are not Americans, will not need any ID.
I think we’re being royally $hit on by the biden administration. It’s Americans last with that man.
The comment referred to a racist comment made by a dmeocrat who said black kids didn’t know what a computer was. Democrats are the racists - and the party of the KKK and White Citizens Councils.
Implement it! Once done, then that much easier to mandate photo ID for voting since you need photo ID for almost everything else.
