The joke's on all those people who fell for the "Real ID" scam. I was just at SFO and they are pushing it heavily. Provides no value to the holder, but plenty of value to others.
An interesting side-effect of CA making the Real ID mandatory is that it will force an element of our population to either move to another state or submit to whatever nefarious controls they believe the Real ID imposes upon them.
As an unexpected bonus I no longer need to argue that no I cannot go through the machine that will fry my glucose monitor nor do they try to open my sterile medication any more.
