Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem published a video warning about the implementation of ‘Real ID.’
“Starting May 7, you will need a Real ID to fly. Real IDs make identification harder to forge, thwarting criminals and terrorists. If you plan to fly, make sure you get a Real ID so you won’t be denied from your flight or face travel delays!” Noem wrote.
“These IDs keep our country safe because they help prevent fraud and they enhance security. Please do your part to protect our country,” she said.

“On May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities. Find out if you’re REAL ID ready with our interactive tool, or select your state or territory!” DHS writes on its website.
X users weren’t shy about their criticism of Real ID.
Bush Admin vibes. Yikes.

Abolish REAL ID

Why not delay it like past administrations did so you can hear from the people on it?

REAL ID- No | Drivers License- Yes
REAL ID is a trojan horse that will slide in other forms of government access, monitoring and control over YOUDo you really want to eventually have a mandated Social Credit Score and your accounts frozen if you don’t fall in line?

Thwarting criminals and terrorists? How? We deserve an explanation for that weak excuse for slapping more burdens on us.

I appreciate the need to stop election fraud but a universal digital ID is the precursor to vax passports and CBDCs. There’s better ways to stop election fraud without risking everyone’s privacy. https://t.co/JGiuy6flcP

Real ID is little more than another attempt to tighten centralized control over the private sphere. It is an unnecessary intrusion on the right to move freely and should be rejected wholesale, especially if the ethos of this new political era is to reign in government excess. https://t.co/6bBTiXXNxE

This is not good. Facial scanners at airports should be outlawed and AFTER mass deportations this law should be repealed. The Federal Government shouldn’t have this power. https://t.co/70Ui4pyc0k

Per Breitbart:
According to the DHS website‘s frequently asked questions regarding REAL ID’s, The REAL ID Act was passed by Congress in 2005, and it “enacted the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation that the Federal Government ‘set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver’s licenses.’”
“Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005 to enhance security standards for identification, directly in response to the security vulnerabilities highlighted by the 9/11 attacks,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske said in a press release from January. “Identity verification is foundational to security. I urge those who use a driver’s license or state-issued identity card as their primary form of identification to access federal facilities or board commercial passenger aircraft, to ensure these credentials are REAL ID-compliant.”
“REAL ID is real stupid. Just another way for our federal government to track legal citizens. There was nothing wrong with state driver licenses. Many years ago it was sold to conservatives as a way to keep illegals from driving, flying, benefits, etc. How did that work out?” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) previously said.

From the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
The federal government is trying to force states to turn your drivers license into a national ID. Unless you tell your state legislator to push back the Real ID Act will create grave dangers to privacy and impose massive financial burdens without improving national security in the least.
Signed into law in May 2005 without meaningful debate the Real ID Act states that drivers licenses will only be accepted for “federal purposes”—like accessing planes trains national parks and court houses—if they conform to certain uniform standards. The law also requires a vast national database linking all of the ID records together.
Once the IDs and database are in place their uses will inevitably expand to facilitate a wide range of surveillance activities. Remember the Social Security number started innocuously enough but it has become a prerequisite for a host of government services and been coopted by private companies to create massive databases of personal information. A national ID poses similar dangers; for example because “common machine-readable technology” will be required on every ID the government and businesses will be able to easily read your private information off the cards in myriad contexts.
Real ID won’t just cost you your privacy. The federal government didn’t give the states funds to implement the law and overcome its many administrative burdens so the billions of dollars in costs will be passed down to you in the form of increased DMV fees or taxes.
And what will you get in return? Not improved national security because IDs do nothing to stop those who haven’t already been identified as threats and wrongdoers will still be able to create fake documents. In fact the IDs and database will simply create an irresistible target for identity thieves.
