re: How many of you have a Real ID and how many don’t?

I don't have one. I was planning on waiting for the rush to end since I don't have a planned flight any time soon.

With the TSA.
Think about who they usually hire for these roles.

I have real id. Guess that means I can enter a federal building and fly,

Also curious how many think this national database will be a net positive for airport security to have little to no impact at all.
I got it because I fly domestically often.
It prevents foreign terrorists from flying on domestic flights, but not domestic terrorists.

I like watching sheep have their picture taken at the check in (#likethishelpssafety).
I "opt" out (that's funny too), give them the "real" ID, and quip that I stood in line for 8 hrs for "that" photo. That's all you get you get today. That picture is good enough.

RealID is as useless as TWIC.
At least you can use your TWIC card number as TSA Pre-Check when you fly

However, it's just another way your government can track you.
I have my own conspiracy nut thoughts about certain aspects of the government , but this one makes zero sense.

I need one for next month but I’m told I can fly with a little more inconvenience regardless

TSA is security theater.
Gonna roll on a regular license and my passport for the time being.

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

My family rarely flies so they’d probably be ok. I travel all the time and I’m willing to accept the risk.

Just a hunch, but I’m guessing that was hyperbole.

I don’t
And I’m not getting one
Went to renew my drivers license in 2023 and brought my passport for the real ID and they told me I needed a birth certificate (which I don’t have) and my Social Security card which was at home.
They said I could ‘come back that day’ If I went home and got them, but there was no way I was gonna go Back to the damn DMV after all that waiting.
If I fly, I’ll fly with a passport till 2029.
Why won’t they give you a real ID if you have a passport and it matches your current drivers license??? it seems like the stupidest thing ever.

I don’t have it. Got my license renewed last year but didn’t have everything I needed. Booked a flight in October, so I’m going to get it before then.

Well, it is a driver's license so by default, more useful than a TWIC.
