Real ID requirement to fly is dumb...

You’ve lived in Florida long enough that you probably already have it. I got my Real ID about 13 years ago.

I took all my stuff in when I renewed in 2012 to get a real id and I just noticed this week that they didn't give me an dl with a star. Typical for FloriDuh, Spirit Airlines quality government with Spirit Airlines quality employees. I just ordered a new birth certificate from Ohio and a new SS card so I can get a new DL. I renewed my passport yesterday but that will take 6 weeks to arrive. I may have to drive to Illinois and back for my next trip. At least I can stop in Atlanta and Nashville along the way.

The no pic and I got hacked. We got REALID DL's, even though we have passports.

I got extra.
 
tsa precheck cards like global entry are also equivalent to realid

This is another thing that grinds my gears. I hate having to grab the my own (and anybody I book for) pre-check numbers for every airline I book through.

How about if you’re running my info against watch lists, you just go ahead and pull my TSA KTN from the database why you’re in there?

What you want the tsa to do all the work? They are busy confiscating your 4 oz of liquid.

Back to the thread title, I don't understand why the government absolutely needs to REALly verify who you are to prevent you from bringing any weapons on board and keeping the skies safe.

The Real ID thing must have deeper motivations for the government, and I question whether it's a good thing for our liberties.
Same guy who yawns about Elon and Big Balls rampaging through the government and getting access to everything.

One week after uploading my application, my new passport is printed and in the mail. The ass backwards state of FloriDuh can F off

Where are you heading?

Chicago and Philadelphia. Now I can wait a week and not have to drive. My birth certificate and social security card should be here in another week or so but since I will have my passport, I can put off dealing with the drivers license office.
 
I've been needing to do the Real ID upgrade but just haven't gotten around to it,.. No need to fly right now so I think I'll just hold off a bit longer and allow the DMV to get through the rush.
 
My issue with this isn't in the ID itself per se, it's how it came to be (circumventing process) and what it could potentially be used for.
 
I uploaded my passport renewal application with new photo around 6 pm last Wednesday. My passport arrived in my PO Box this morning at 8:30 am.

What I don’t understand is why do you need a real ID now. Didn’t you need all of that stuff to get a drivers license in the first place?

Made an appointment to get mine as my drivers license expired on my bday. Realized I couldn’t find my birth certificate anywhere and needed to order a new one. It’s been 44 days and 32 business days now and I’m still waiting on my birth certificate. Don’t think I’m going to get it before the 60 day window to renew your license. CSB

How far away do you live from the county you were born? You can get your birth certificate from the recorder's office in that county. That's what I had to do.
 
So because I now live 2 hours from where I born, you believe I was born in BFE? You do know it takes roughly 4-5 hours to drive across Iowa right?
There are 99 counties in Iowa, so yeah, probably one of the BFE counties is where you grew up. Don’t take offense, just a lot of them in Iowa.
 
Iowa sounds stuck in the stone ages. You can get it in Florida within a week by ordering or visiting any county health department throughout the state.

Wait... You just noticed 13 years later you didn't get the star? You might want to do a little self reflection.
 
Real ID enforcement begins at airports nationwide, TSA offers some leniency for now

 
CBS Miami.....few delays today
