CNN reports on the impact of today's deadline that requires U.S. domestic air travelers to present REAL ID-compliant identification. I find it weird that this is surprising anyone, as the REAL ID act was passed in 2005 and the original deadline for new ID was 2008. But 20 years(!) after it was mandated, and 17 years after it was first supposed to take effect, this is still catching people off guard.

If you don't have real id, a passport works too.

It always surprises me that people wait until the last minute to get things done.
Glad not to be part of the mass of humanity trying to get a Real ID.
