DHS to require residents of some states to
obtain passports to fly domestically.
"The Department of Homeland Security and representatives with the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection have declined to comment on why certain
states have been singled out, but starting in 2016,
residents of New York, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire,
and American Samoa will need a passport to fly domestically. All other
states will still be able to use their state-issued driver’s licenses
and IDs — for now, at least."
I bet this doesn't happen.
"The Real ID act has been controversial since its initial proposal over
ten years ago and is seen by many as a massive violation of privacy. One
of the primary reasons it has taken the government so long to roll this
program out is that the program is wildly unpopular and creates heavy
backlash every time it appears in the news."
When this hits the news, there will be backlash too.
