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.
WA offer(ed as of 2015) 3 different licenses. 1 has minimal proof of who you are, 1 Real ID, 1 a Border crossing card (and Real ID). They cost different amounts, but illegals could get the first one with just a bill in their name and address (not that it had to be their real name or address).
