"Real ID" for flying ?

[donner]

I do believe your right to travel, inside the borders of the USA, is constitutionally protected under your fourth article. RealID and the requirement of a license could be argued that this is an unconstitutional tax. Wouldn't win or hold up, but that fight would be a fun one to watch. That same section two bit is used to argue for national concealed carry all the time.

I think your right to move around is protected, but the method by which you do it is not (strictly speaking) guaranteed. Again, states can make you pass a test to drive. States are generally not allowed to make you take a test to be allowed to vote.

I believe there are instances where voter ID has been struck down have (in part) dealt with issues around getting ID cards. Working from memory (which could easily be wrong), i think there was a case where having to purchase a state ID card meant that requiring the cards to vote was a burden. But if the state simply issues ID cards then it was not since there was no 'tax' before you were allowed to vote.

Any state who thinks they could successfully challenge this in court would be smacked down...they could simply spit out "commerce clause!" and that would be the end of it.

I have a DoD CAC that gets me into TSA Pre-Check. And I carry my passport as well ...

This is precisely why we need OSA membership cards.

I'm sure no TSA agent would argue with one of those.....

Some state should require the Real ID to vote in any election effecting a federal office. That should cause all kinds of fun.

That would be a slippery slope to me. On what basis would you consider it not a right?

Well, for one thing, those aircraft are all privately owned. You have no right to use someone else's property, just like nobody else has a right to use yours.

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.

Wow, you've been around for a long time! Welcome back!

My license expires in November . . . I wonder if/when the state actually starts issuing compliant IDs if I'll have to pay again or if it's optional to get the compliant ID and wait until my license expires again.

It's Oklahoma. You will get charged again.

Papiere, bitte.

Sooner or later, even the most upright and prosperous among us must show his being papers.
