...is that people are idiots. First off is the fact that you need real ID. That was another 9/11 knee jerk reaction by the very liberal RINO George W. Bush and his administration. It was just like getting rid of the INS and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, a total screw-up. Then there are the politicians and bureaucrats who did virtually nothing in their states to insure compliance with the law, in fact all many did was bitch and moan that getting the little star on a driver's license was some terrible form of discrimination or a horrendous inconvenience and invasion of privacy.
Many of those government types who complained were apparently the same ones who think, like I do, that voter ID should be required. Somehow, though, differently than me, they see a big difference in one being a major violation of rights and the other as A-okay.
Personally, while I would rather we not be required to have it to travel, I think real ID only is a minor inconvenience to obtain for air travel. It would be better, since we soon have to have it regardless of whatvanyone thinks about it, if it also would be used as proof of citizenship for voter ID. That way it it would serve at least one good purpose.
Anyway, folks have had several years to get it. I got mine last year. It was no big deal, and took only a short amount of time at the place wherein I got my original AR driver's license. Now folks in at least a few states are wailing about long lines and delays in getting real ID. If you do not need it, don't get it; however, if air travel is in your future, why in Hades have you not gotten it already! Don't piss and moan about delayed travel if you don't have yours because you failed to get it, in all the years you had to acquire one before the deadline, that is on you.
All the best,
