    Previously you could just use a driver’s license for domestic flights without the fine.

    People old enough to remember when you didn't need any ID at all for domestic flights?

      Ah yes the good old days of seeing how close you could get to the airport before boarding time and watching everyone rippin’ butts in the terminal’s smoking area on their layover

    I’d say a majority of Americans in any airport. I have a passport and never take mine, and I fly at least monthly.

    Lots of Americans traveling domestically. I was also in awe of that.

    People in the EU/EEA can fly within the EU using an European ID, rather than passport.

  We’re going to scan your face and hope you’re dumb enough to pull a fast one on us. We hope this process identifies you but if it doesn’t, we’re going to let you through anyway, but only for ten days. You know, in case you get radicalized or, gain a few pounds or something. The time it took to align your greasy mug and snap a photo cost us $298, we can only assume, but we’re charging YOU $45 so we can appease the right wing dummies who hate gubmint & taxes. Security through obscurity, not even the right reasons

  When it says “arriving” it means “landing”?

  So does that mean you can enter a plane without identifying yourself?

    AFAIK multiple ppl died stowing away in the wheel compartment. So yeah, that’s not impossible.

    Also, chartering or piloting your own small plane should bypass that, often.

  Really surprised this hasn’t been the case since 2011 already…?

    No. Some states like mine held out on forcing REAL ID so these rules weren’t implemented until last year.
