Planning any travel next year? Even if your not heading outside of the United States, residents of nine states with need to flash their passport beginning in 2018 for ANY commercial flight. Yes, whether international or domestic.
The Real ID Act of 2005 says state-issued IDs from these nine states fail to meet the minimum security standards of the federal government:
Kentucky
Maine
Minnesota
Missouri
Montana
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Washington
Residents of these states will no longer be allowed to board a plane with just a state issued driver’s license as of January 22nd, 2018. To get past TSA security checkpoints, another form of identification will be required: passport, permanent resident card/green card or a military ID.
Your papers please Comrades!
''... I believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people...are a safeguard to the continuance of a free government...whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast Republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.''- Gen. Robert E. Lee
