Get your REAL ID or you will be sitting home if you have to fly May 7th is the deadline

[Historic NY]

New York residents, as well as Americans across the U.S., need to finally get their hands on a REAL ID before the deadline for legislation passes.

After this date, you will not be able to fly without a passport. Less than half of the U.S. population has a passport, so if you don't have one and want to fly, it's imperative to get a REAL ID. It may also invalidate your driver's license.

3. Yep. This has been coming down the pike for close to 20 years.

With an inordinate (although probably predictable) amount of foot dragging, delay, extensions - and other can kicking. Although originally passing through Congress as a security measure with fairly overwhelming support.
But with the aforementioned multiple 'delays' - bringing us to current date - 20 years on - and a whole lot of people saying, "What, When .. ?" and, "I don't understand .. "

4. Federal bldg access is biggest issue

You will still be able to fly after suffering enhanced screening.
