Was watching a video about the shit show at Newark airport and a beaner was interviewed that expressed concern that because her flight was delayed she may have difficulty on the connection flight because Real ID was coming into effect today.
I'm pretty paranoid but this doesn't tingle my antenna. I think the Real ID mess is a boondoggle so the companies that make IDs can make more money forcing everyone to replace them. The only reason they are "enhanced" is you need more proofs of identity to get one and you have to get it in person. So it's harder to commit fraud or hide behind a fake identity. Some states have way fewer requirements for getting official ids so they have tons more fraud (lol Hawaii).
The name is stupid because it implies other types of IDs are fake and that annoys people, as it should. These IDs don't have chips in them but all passports today do have chips, and you can feel them on the front or back cover.
