REAL ID to Launch in 2016: TSA Will Force Airline Passengers to Show National ID Before Flying

Starting in 2016, the Transportation Security Administration will require all airline passengers to present a REAL ID compliant identification card or a passport in order to board a flight. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that 20-30% of Americans live in jurisdictions that are not REAL ID compliant, meaning their driver's licenses will no longer be accepted during security checks at the airport.

So they now want you to have a National ID to fly.

[Veggie Todd]

That’s racist!

[Cowboy Bob]

I guess wetbacks will be exempt.

[Red Badger]

That’s rasis!~~~~~~~~~~~~~..............

Your Papers, please....unless you are

illegal immigrant

If you are an illegal you get to fly free.

They might as well - they get just about EVERYTHING else for free.

No point being a citizen anymore.

[NorthMountain]

Requiring any sort of ID to vote is racist.

Requiring special ID to board an airliner necessary to save the baby seals and cute little fluffy bunnies.

[mountainlion]

No point being a citizen anymore.

But they need us to pay the bills.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

So they now want you to have a National ID to fly.

Not to vote though.

[SandRat]

I have a Miltary ID, will they call that “A National ID”?

[FourtySeven]

It looks like this is here already as it’s talking about “Real ID compliant” ID’s and that only 20-30% of Americans now have ID’s that aren’t “Real ID compliant”.

So you probably already have one of these “Real ID’s”. It just has the appearance of your state’s driver’s license.

It is incredible that, in 2015, we do not have a good ID system. Of course, that would mean dealing with illegal immigration, voter fraud, welfare fraud, crime, other issues that the US does not seem to want to deal with.

[Hoffer Rand]

This is the consequence of states providing drivers licenses to illegals. Excuse me, in Utah it’s a “driving privilege card,” not to be confused with a “real” drivers license. And theoretically, you aren’t supposed to be able to use it for airline travel.

The Clintons were very shrewd when they passed Motor Voter. It may actually be the winning margin for Hillary.

[Fred Hayek]

Internal passport

[FroedrickVonFreepenstein]

Real ID Act of 2005. Another Jorge Bush Easter egg.

[silverleaf]

But it’s rasist to ask for voter ID to protect our precious American vote?

I predict this will get shot down since about 5% of “Americans” are probably illegals

[Duckdog]

Now, wasn’t this thing voted down a few years back?
