"Real ID" for flying ?

[dennishoddy]

What is the complaint from the state on this? Are they putting it off until the fed grants the monies to pay for it? Are they worried it's some sort of national ID? Why is it required to prove your identity to fly, but not required to vote?

You are required to show ID to vote in Oklahoma.

You are required to show ID to vote in Oklahoma.

In this state, sure... but not in every state. The voting shenanigans surrounding Real ID are straight off the Real ID website. Required for travel, not required to vote.

My butt doesn't fly so doesn't affect me.

Anyone remember the woman that sued ODPS because the fingerprints and HD photo required for the new OK drivers license amounted to the mark of the beast?

I'm flying up to Ohio this month. I don't know if it would do me any good,but I'm bringing birth certificate just in case.

It won’t do you any good as there is no photo on it.

I use my passport card for ID at TSA, I don’t like pulling my DL out because I need it when I get to my destination to rent a car. I recently got Global Entry and that card works too for TSA ID.

If you have your state issued ID, the BC is unnecessary. If you don't have your state issued ID, source documents such as SS and BC can assist in verifying your identity enough to fly, with a little additional screening.

That would be a slippery slope to me. On what basis would you consider it not a right? If that technology were denied since its "not a constitutional right to fly", what would stop them from saying the internet etc was not constitutionally protected? I mean, is the Real ID to fly really any difference than a DL to drive? Is driving constitutionally protected? Or MSR's etc are not protected?

i don't believe the law regards driving as a constitutional right. You have the right to move around, but how that occurs carries differing limits, i think. Air carriers do not have to let you on a plane. And, i believe for the most part, the .gov is really only involved in the security and coordination aspects of air travel. The carriers are still private.

And the internet is a good example of gray areas. There is no prescribed right to privacy or access. Yet some have found those 'rights' in other enumerated protections.
