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 have a driver's license, why would you not have gotten it by now? I've had a Real ID driver's license for over 10 years. I'd pretty much forgotten that was a thing until I saw the panic over it today. I don't remember having to do anything special to get it. I remember when I renewed it, they just asked if I wanted it.
