Always keep my passport in my carryon


Which is something I don’t quite understand the reasoning behind since the 911 terrorists all presented legit IDs/passports, so the failings had nothing to do with identification, but the TSA being asleep on the job, and so now as a result we have Real ID’s and the Patriot Act. All of this tends to raise my American antenna and makes me wonder if any of this is about much more than simply an excuse to grow the influence of the Federal Government.

It just really doesn’t make sense to keep America safer IMO

Don't have one. But I have a passport and TWIC card.

RealID is as useless as TWIC.

All it entails is just some additional info that proved who you say you are for an ID. What’s the purpose of an ID again? Oh yeah. To prove why you say you are.

Real ID is a nothing burger.

Real id is another republican scam to disenfranchise minority voters


Imagine being a poc and finally figuring out how to get an id to vote and the republicans tell you that it’s not a “real” id

Not sure how people don’t
where I live, I can't get realID in the same building as where you renew. I have to go to special building that's only open 2 days each month. They made it easy not to have real ID.

I just recently got mine. I have a passport but didn’t want to tote that around every time I fly domestically.

My license was up for renewal last year, so I went ahead and got it. I didn't go out of my way to get it, and it was in the middle of my son getting his TIP/Permit/License, so I just made an extra appointment and got it done.


Exactly how I got mine except I tried to renew while he was there doing his driving test. Unfortunately I didn't have the proper documents so I had to go back to the DMV.

I don’t really care one way or the other about real ID but I hate airport security. I think I’d rather five or six 9-11’s every year than deal
With the TSA.




Not sure I'd go quiitttee that far, but the shite is out of control.

ATL on a Monday morning is an absolute nightmare, even with TSA PreCheck....I mean like lines snaked back to the doors which are a few hundred yards from security.

There HAS to be a better balance of security with common sense convenience. Especially when you read the articles of how badly TSA fails tests by letting contraband through security. It'd be a different story if they were actually doing anything useful.

With the Real ID, the crime rate in LA is going to plummet.

Outside of having to bring documents and the TX DMV being nothing like La, it wasnt that big of a deal.

People are bitching about nothing.
