For those who don’t have it is not a big deal. Had it done years ago.

I paid good money for my Alibaba fake ID that is supposed to look like the real thing (unless they go to the trouble of checking the data banks) and I don’t like wasting money. I don’t fly anymore (thanks TSA). So now I don’t care.

If you have a Gold Star on the upper right of your Texas DL, you’re good.

Sorry, I don't buy it. Nothing about the 4th amendment precludes you having a photo ID and proving you are a citizen. Discussion of TSA is entirely different topic.

Do you support photo ID to vote? To complete many other government, banking, and other financial transactions? To cash a check? Have you worked in any industry or environment where photo ID is required? Do you agree or disagree with it there?

Or maybe not on a plane with an ID.

A gold star is a valid Real ID.

I thought they only gave Real ID to white people.

Yes its a gold star on mine. Now if they could just require DL or some sort of ID for voting like they do in AL and many other states. :-)

Sure as hell is a lot of mandating going on. Sounds more like a dictatorship every damn day.

You should not have to show a Government ID to travel on a Plane. When are you going to support Trump by the way?

Simple question...How does a REAL ID differ from the standard fake ID? Does the fake ID have a photo of Alfred E. Neuman (Mad Magazine) on it? Is the address “123 Anyplace Lane?”

Are they “vanity” ID’s with photos of a movie star of your choice and an address in Beverly Hills CA?

Why would a state issue a FAKE ID anyway?

Do they have a stamped Warning?

“This is a bogus ID. Please don’t rely on it. We, at the Department of Motor Vehicles, were just fooling around making this ID, to jerk people around for the hell of it.”

I’m gonna get some illegal real IDs. I’ll just show up at the DMV and fake an accent. Then I’m gonna vote for Trump a bunch of times.

Why not show ID on a plane--verify you are legit, not a terrorist, no warrants, whatever. I don't have a problem with that.

Trump? Where have you been over the past couple of months? Why don't you read me comments in discussion threads if your so concerned? Are you hung up on DeSantis still like a few others? Or whatever other paranoia drives you? Take a deep breath, move on like almost everyone else on FR.

Real ID DL is optional in KY. Neither the wife nor I have one. We both have passports, which she uses instead of DL to fly. I have refused to fly for some time so it has not affected me directly.

However, if anyone in DC gave a crap about the Constitution there would be no requirement. Real ID is a domestic passport. The Constitution clearly states that we have right of free passage within the country, between the states.

I won’t live to see it, but I believe that this is incrementalism towards the ultimate goal of state to state “passports”.

Everything they are doing is not an “end”. Rather, each is a step on the road to other, never ending totalitarian goals.
