US government will ban Americans from air travel effective May 2025 unless they have federalized 'Real ID' driver's license
The long-awaited deadline is finally approaching on May 7 and it will disqualify many from boarding commercial airplanes, whether domestic or international flights.
Independent journalist Patrick Webb reports that the US government plans to launch its heavily criticized federal ID program, called Real ID, for domestic air travel on May 7, 2025.

I believe a passport works too.
Just coming here to say ^this^.
Same here. I'll just add, the passports have the same RFID tracking and more embedded within.
I’ve heard an appropriate number of seconds in a microwave can disable the RFID chips…haven’t researched recently…
I would love to see this. Granted I recall seeking kids destroy their iPhone 6 (IIRC) trying to drill an headphone hole into their phone. Just wondering if those chips would catch fire & burn up in those microwaves?
I have a RFID blocking passport & credit card holder like this
Passports have printed chevron symbols like this >>>>>>>>> and that area has to be scannned first to get the password to read the chip. So no possibily of anyone sneaking up next to you and grabbing your chip data so no need for RF shielding.
Ha ha. Made in China! Is it trustworthy?
and it doesn't have a street address on it.
Exactly.
Yes, but both cost more than a driver’s license and regular ID!
true, but the title is misleading, people are not banned without a Real ID. That being said I bet this blows up again, too many people won't have any clue about this and will go to board a plane with a normal ID.
I guess they will find out quickly. But this too will pass with DJT in office.
