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.

They should have just made it so that anytime a new ID is requested, you could only get a Real ID. Instead it was left to individuals to guess what the government is doing (like taxes) which never ends well.
