With some states giving illegal aliens drivers licenses, I can understand why the TSA would want a passport.

Me too considering that passports are another way for the govt to get their hands in your wallet. Over $100...It never ends.

This sounds like a reasonable requirement given that Europe is in the process of being overrun with arab immigrants on which vetted background checks are next to impossible to administer, given the dearth of information available, who will then be in a position, as european citizens, to take advantage of less restrictive flying regulations for entering the USA.

Desperate housewife of South Dakota, Kristi Noem wants you to use Real ID. Say no. Here is how.

Most recently, Kristi was shilling the Real ID, which is “mandatory” for domestic air travel starting in May.

I am planning to NOT comply. Go to RefuseRealID.org or read this summary.

POINTS TO KNOW
REAL ID is an unconstitutional National ID that will end state and personal sovereignty (CCHF Public Comment).
Fully imposed, it will be digitized, potentially put on your phone, made real-time and remotely accessible, and used to track and control movement, purchases, and transactions (AAMVA Testimony).
REAL ID could become a Chinese-like social credit system, linked to a global ID.
The expanding use of biometric and digital ID systems are potential threats to medical privacy, patient autonomy, and individual freedom. REAL ID opens the door to tracking, profiling, and control over your medical choices and daily life.
Don’t buy the lie. You can still fly – without REAL ID.
Indeed you may be able to fly without any ID, according to Gilmore vs. Gonzalez. Processes are in place today if you lose your ID, including questions you need to answer (i.e. What was the color of your first car?) and a search.
TAKE ACTION: Ask Congress to: 1. Require TSA to withdraw the “progressive enforcement” rule and 2. Repeal the law.

HISTORY
In 2005, Congress passed an unconstitutional law requiring all American citizens to be issued a “National Identification card” (U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander’s words on the Senate floor) – a REAL ID. In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security issued a rule requiring all states to conform to the unconstitutional federal law and issue REAL IDs for driver’s licenses and identification cards.

More than half of the states REFUSED this usurpation of states’ rights—25 states passed laws prohibiting compliance and 12 states passed resolutions opposing REAL ID. Federal deadline after deadline passed with little state compliance.

PHASED IN TO DECREASE BACKLASH: “This flexibility allows these agencies to maintain operational
eLiciency; reduce security risks born from long lines, incidents, and distractions caused by additional identity
verification procedures or turning away individuals who do not have acceptable identification; decrease
potential public backlash to security personnel enforcing REAL ID; and limit potential negative impacts to the
public.”
