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.
I live off mine. I have only a permanent residence card/status living here. I have to keep my US passport up to date and safely stored in my apartment for the rest of my life. Or until I forfeit my US citizenship. Which is on my to do list at some point.
