While the government makes flying increasingly onerous for legal American residents, things are different if you’re illegal.
In response to a congressman’s request for information based upon a whistleblower’s tip, the TSA admitted that illegal aliens are allowed to fly even if the only identification they have is an arrest warrant or warrant of removal from DHS related to their illegal status. So, while you’re flashing the REAL ID driver’s license that was a total pain to obtain, the illegal alien in front of you just shows his arrest warrant. That’ll teach those illegal aliens not to break into our country.
Think about travel now, compared to travel before COVID and 9/11. In the old days, you’d walk up to the airplane, often with friends and family at your side to see you off, show your ticket and board the plane. Even without paying an extra fee, you might have legroom. Only Saudi Arabian women wore face covering, and everyone felt appropriately sorry for these sad women hidden from view.
Nowadays, you must have a formal government-approved form of identification, whether it’s a passport or a driver’s license. But it can’t be just any driver’s license. Instead, it must be a REAL ID.

I wasn’t expecting that. (I passed.)

Reason #4 why I don’t fly commercial anymore, and haven’t since July 1996, when TWA 800 was shot down. If I can’t drive there, I don’t need to go there.
Well, since the illegals are our replacements after WuFlu has successfully annihilated most of us, the government has to be as accommodating to them as possible.
My security license is a professional license, but technically issued by the government.
Short version:
Breaking the law is a Get Out Of Jail Free card.
My Federal IDs are issued by the Federal Government and State IDs are issued by State Government, not technically, actually.
Am currently in the process of getting my REAL ID. It is indeed a pain in the neck. Not sure what was wrong with the old driver’s licenses.
