TSA Rule: You Won’t Be Able to Board an Airplane with Driver’s Licenses from these 9 States

Why isn't California on that list? An invading army could land on our west coast beaches and the CA DMV would be there handing out driver's licenses together with welfare checks

PO1 Tony Holland I think the real ID thing is bullshit. It is not going to make flying any safer. It just makes the sheeple at the airport feel like they are safer. Makes DHS look like they are doing something very useful. The reality is that it is not going to stop anything. It is the people on the ground doing the work that makes it safer. By finding terrorist ass bags before they get near a plane. Though if you look at the last few terrorist attacks, there have been more incidents on the ground than in the air. Terrorists have adapted to the new reality. Instead of blowing up a building with a plane, they drive a truck through a crowded outdoor market, shoot up a train, kill an ambassador during a speech. None of those could have been prevented by REAL ID. The reality is that if an individual is planning something like that, unless the person is completely retarded, there is no way to know it is going to happen until it starts.

What gets me is that RealID has been years in the making. Every state has had, what, 5 or 6 years to meet the requirements? And with the usual 4 year limitation on State ID that means everyone in that state would have gotten a RealID by now.

I also happen to agree with this NOT being a deterrent at all. The only thing it may cut down on are forgeries - for the next few years until all of the forgers are retooled to handle hologram markers.
