The time has come. Starting Wednesday, passengers nationwide must use a state-issued ID or license that is “REAL ID” compliant to travel within the US.

Just in time- as we all stop flying as much. #newark is a hot mess. Staff/FAA cuts, delays, crashes…

This has been in the works since 2008-began being available years ago-seems numerous people just did not bother to get the Real ID when their licenses came due-procrastinated & now are crying because they have to wait hours to get it-with an appointment at DMV last year it took me 40 minutes.

I didn’t get it because they required a lot of proof of address crap. That was a problem since I don’t live with my parents anymore, but want to keep that address. So I’ll use my passport now, which ironically also has my parents address, but no one seems to care!

I got mine a few years ago -- it expired just after a trip to Europe, and since the passport ticked like all but 2 of the boxes ... That being said, it's still just security theatre.

The modern version of the China identity cards, so the State can monitor your every move & action. Another step in America's conversion to a dictatorship. Stay vigilant, cautious & defiant, you are all being absorbed into a Kleptocrosy.

Can't CNN do better? 🤔 For months, the alternative is a passport. That isn't mentioned. Do passports no longer count? This is misleading.😧

They're still "fine" insofar as I am aware -- but I imagine the people who don't already have a real id also don't have a passport.

sillylooseygoosey.bsky.social @sillylooseygoosey.bsky.social

Not true. I have a passport and passport card. No need for me to have a real ID. That’s giving police way too much access if I get pulled over for something like speeding in another state. No way all my data needs to be accessible to everyone.

Everyone should be aware that the millions of people who are members of AAA can schedule an appointment at a local AAA office and get their RealID there. AAA is efficient and generally should be able to supplement government offices; one way to avoid the long lines!!
