"As of Oct. 1, 2020, every adult needs to show a Real ID-compliant driver’s license (or another acceptable form of identification such as a passport) to fly within the United States. If you don’t have one, you’re not going anywhere ― even if you’re traveling domestically. You’ll also need one to enter a secured federal facility that requires ID." https://www.huffpost.com/entry/real-id-air-travel-drivers-license_l_5cd5c330e4b0796a95dbb827

Friend of mine was forced to get a compliant driver's license - and it disappeared in the mail. So all the info on it is now in the hands of whoever has it, in a format easily hackable. Dealing with that has been an expensive and onerous hassle. The security gain from it is negative. There is no option of obtaining a more secure and simpler and cheaper driver's license, by agreeing to never fly anywhere. Anyone else remember when self-described "conservative" Americans (and their political reps) were adamantly opposed to having to present their "papers" to officious minions in order to travel in the US?
firesign theatre bit circa late '60s (J= judge. Y= young man) J: "If you do not answer the question young man I'm afraid we'll have to gag you." Y: "What question?" J: "Do you promise to covet property, priority, surety, security and not hurt the state--say what." Y: "What." J: "Gag him!" .......................... Long ago and far away-----(shortly after a flight had been hijacked to Cuba) My 1st wife, Patty, and I were at the Miami airport getting tickets for a flight to Chicago. When we approached the ticket counter, I asked: "Is this the plane to Havana?" Patty enjoyed the joke. However, we were shortly surrounded by 6 rather large fellows who escorted us to a private room. One of them said that what I had said was not funny. ---------- crazy "flight", the pilot accidentally drove the plane off the runway and got it stuck in the sand. As the towmotor guys were pointing at the front landing gear and laughing, the flight attendants started passing out the booze.
I got my first renewed d/l at Marion. I'd just retired from the Navy and still had the one issued to me in high school. The counter clerk looked at the d/l, then at my discharge papers, and issued me a new one without any testing. Total time in the license branch was about 15 minutes.
