Now to Push Back. Catherine Austin Fitts Asks Everyone to Ditch Tyrannical Real ID and Convert Back to Regular State Drivers License

[Harry Dresden]

You touched on the question I was about to ask: If Real ID is required to board a plane, can’t I just take my passport (even for domestic flights)?

you dont need a real id to fly....

At the moment no. It will eventually be enforced unless congress passes a law changing that requirement.

While Enhanced IDs meet Real ID requirements, there are some great benefits. Major among them is the ability to travel to Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean without the need of carrying a passport. For folks who live near the US border and cross regularly it removes the headache of always having a passport with you.

We could do all this before Republicans forced their Real ID on US.

It was a BIPARTISAN bill that was passed twenty years ago. I think the benefits to secure aviation and the possibility for use in securing our elections far outweigh the panic over big government. There is no requirement at this time that you even have to have one---unless you want to fly commercially. Trying to turn it into a partisan issue is ridiculous.

BS. - Recently I had to stay over 1,000 miles out of state an extra couple months in FL to evict tenant & repair my rental. While working there my license expired, so I couldn't Drive, Fly, Board a Train or Greyhound Bus without that Real ID. Uber also requires ID to sign up & can only drive you a max of 4 hours in any direction. Walking, biking or bumbing a ride with a private person is the only option.

Look I get it you did not renew before your license expired so rather blame yourself you feel compelled to blame real ID. Sorry but it does not work that way

 

[Concerned American]

While working there my license expired

Sounds like it was your fault that you didn't keep your ID current. There is no requirement for Real ID for ANY kind of travel other than commercial aviation and Passports, military IDs and Veterans Health ID cards meet the requirement. Please keep your identification current--democrats require it.

Did Franklin fly after 9/11?

A passport will meet ALL identification requirements WORLD WIDE.

I was working away from home for about 6 months. My return was unexpectedly delayed 2+ months after Trump allowed tenants to skip rent payments, so I had unexpected evictions & rental flip while I was away. Could not renew license out of state.

Bottom line is freedom to travel is a basic human right that tyrannical Republicans took away. During Covid Republican Gov Desantis posted checkpoints when crossing into FL via I-95 and I-10
